Understanding Orlistat's Effects - Order In Stock Now
Is Orlistat Actually a Laxative?
Orlistat is not classified as a laxative, but it can cause bowel-related side effects that patients sometimes mistake for laxative effects. Orlistat works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes through your system naturally, which can cause oily stools, increased bowel movements, and urgency - particularly when eating high-fat meals.
All orlistat products are currently in stock at EverydayMeds with reliable UK supply. Generic orlistat 120mg (4-week supply) costs £32.99, or just £29.69 with code EDM10. Order your consultation today for fast access.
Why Orlistat Causes Gastrointestinal Effects
The gastrointestinal side effects from orlistat occur because undigested fat must exit your body somehow. Unlike laxatives that stimulate bowel movements by irritating the intestines or drawing water into the bowel, orlistat's effects are a direct result of its fat-blocking mechanism. The more fat in your meal, the more pronounced these effects may be.
Xenical 120mg (branded orlistat) is also fully stocked, starting from £42.99 for a 4-week supply (£38.69 with EDM10). Both generic and branded versions contain identical orlistat 120mg and work exactly the same way.
Managing Orlistat's Bowel Effects
To minimise gastrointestinal side effects while taking orlistat, keep your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal (30% of daily calories from fat). This significantly reduces the likelihood of urgent bowel movements, oily discharge, and other gut-related effects. Many patients find these effects decrease over time as they adapt to a lower-fat diet.
Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £54.99 for an 8-week supply (£49.49 with EDM10). As it contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, gastrointestinal side effects are typically milder.
