Understanding Orlistat and Gallstone Risk Factors
Can Orlistat Cause Gallstones? The Clinical Evidence
Research indicates that weight management support can increase gallstone risk, but orlistat's mechanism may actually help reduce this risk compared to crash dieting. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, promoting gradual weight loss alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. This controlled approach to weight management may be preferable to weight management support methods that significantly increase gallstone formation risk.
