Is Hair Loss a Side Effect of Orlistat?
Hair loss is not listed among the common or very common side effects of orlistat 120mg, Xenical, or Alli 60mg in official UK prescribing information. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds ensures you receive accurate information about all orlistat side effects. The most frequently reported side effects are gastrointestinal, including oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These occur because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut.

Professional Clinical Assessment Process
Following online consultation, our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. This clinical assessment ensures orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances and identifies any potential contraindications. We discuss all possible side effects, including rare occurrences, providing comprehensive safety information. Treatment is only prescribed where clinically appropriate, maintaining the same professional standards as traditional high street pharmacies.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
EverydayMeds provides continued support throughout your orlistat treatment. Our pharmacy team can advise on managing common side effects, proper dosing schedules, and dietary recommendations to optimise treatment outcomes. If you experience any unusual symptoms, including changes to hair or scalp, our clinical team can provide guidance or recommend consulting your GP. We maintain detailed records of all consultations and prescriptions for continuity of care.
