Understanding Orlistat Side Effects - Expert Pharmacy Advice
Is Sweating a Side Effect of Orlistat?
Sweating is not listed among the common side effects of orlistat 120mg or Xenical in official prescribing information. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds ensures you receive accurate information about orlistat's side effect profile. The most frequently reported side effects are gastrointestinal, occurring when orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess whether any symptoms you're experiencing are related to orlistat treatment during your online consultation.
Common Orlistat Side Effects - What to Expect
Orlistat's mechanism of action primarily affects the digestive system. Very common side effects include oily stools, oily spotting, urgent bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These occur because unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. If you're experiencing sweating while taking orlistat, it may be unrelated to the medication or could indicate another underlying cause that should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
