Understanding Orlistat Safety - Order with Confidence
Is Orlistat Actually Bad for You?
Orlistat isn't "bad" when used appropriately, but like all prescription medicines, it may cause side effects. The key is understanding what to expect and how to minimise issues. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut - not your brain. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to fat intake. Keep meals low in fat (around 15g per meal) and side effects become much more manageable. Save 10% on every order with code EDM10 - whether it's your first purchase or your tenth reorder.
Common Side Effects and How to Manage Them
The most frequent side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These occur because unabsorbed fat passes through your system naturally. While unpleasant initially, these effects typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Many patients find wearing a panty liner helpful during the first few weeks. At EverydayMeds, our 4-week orlistat supply costs just £29.69 with EDM10 (down from £32.99), giving you time to adjust while saving money.
Comparing Your Options with 10% Savings
Whether you choose generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, or lower-strength Alli 60mg, EDM10 reduces every order by 10%. Orlistat 120mg offers the best value at £86.39 for 12 weeks (down from £95.99). Xenical provides the same clinical effect at £116.09 for 12 weeks with EDM10. Alli 60mg at half-strength costs £116.99 for 12 weeks with our discount. All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - but at different strengths and price points.
When Orlistat May Not Be Suitable
Orlistat isn't appropriate for everyone. You shouldn't use it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or have certain medical conditions like chronic malabsorption syndrome. It's also not suitable if you're taking ciclosporin or have a history of kidney stones. Our UK-licensed prescribers review every application individually during the online clinical assessment. The consultation is included in our prices, and with EDM10, you save 10% on every order thereafter.
