How Orlistat Differs from GLP-1 Medications
Orlistat vs GLP-1: Key Differences
Orlistat is not a GLP-1 medication. While GLP-1 treatments like semaglutide work by affecting hormones and appetite centres in the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system as a lipase inhibitor. It blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed, with the unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body.

How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Unlike injectable GLP-1 medications that require weekly injections, orlistat comes in convenient capsule form. You take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being digested and absorbed. This mechanism is completely different from GLP-1 treatments, which work through hormone pathways.
