Understanding Orlistat Side Effects from UK Experts
Does Orlistat Cause Diarrhea? The Clinical Facts
Orlistat can cause diarrhea and related gastrointestinal effects because it blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. When unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system, it commonly causes loose stools, oily discharge, and increased bowel movement frequency. At EverydayMeds, our UK-licensed prescribers explain these effects during clinical assessment, helping you understand what to expect from treatment.
Why Choose EverydayMeds for Orlistat Treatment?
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy based in Leicester, EverydayMeds provides regulated access to orlistat 120mg (from £15.20 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (from £19.35), and Alli 60mg (from £26.09). Our MHRA-regulated supply chain ensures authentic medication, whilst UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough clinical assessments before prescribing. Every prescription includes comprehensive guidance on managing side effects through dietary modification.
Managing Gastrointestinal Side Effects Effectively
The key to minimising diarrhea and oily stools whilst taking orlistat lies in dietary fat control. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to significantly reduce side effects. Our prescribers recommend spreading daily fat intake evenly across three meals, avoiding high-fat foods that trigger more severe symptoms. This approach allows orlistat to work effectively whilst keeping side effects manageable.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Effects, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients, producing the same gastrointestinal effects. Generic orlistat offers significant savings - our 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to Xenical at £38.69. Clinical effectiveness remains identical, so choosing generic orlistat provides the same fat-blocking benefits at a lower cost through our registered pharmacy.
