What Are Orlistat Capsules Used For?
Orlistat capsules are prescription-only weight loss medication used to support weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in the gut, helping reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Choosing the Right Supply Length
Treatment duration depends on individual response and clinical assessment. Many patients start with a 4-week supply to assess tolerance and effectiveness before progressing to longer supplies. The 8-week and 12-week options offer better value per capsule and ensure continuous treatment without frequent reordering. Your prescriber will advise on appropriate treatment duration during the online clinical assessment.
How Orlistat Works
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of consumed fat from being absorbed, allowing it to pass naturally through the body. The medication must be taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat, making the capsule counts equivalent to roughly 2, 4, 8, or 12 weeks of treatment respectively.
