How Orlistat Capsules Work for Weight Management
How Do Orlistat Capsules Work?
Orlistat capsules work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary fat. Orlistat acts locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain, making it different from appetite suppressants. When combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet, orlistat may help support weight management in eligible adults.

Clinical Assessment by UK-Licensed Prescribers
Orlistat 120mg requires a prescription following clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your online consultation, considering your BMI, medical history, and current medications. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions. The prescription is included in our pricing - no separate GP appointment needed. Assessment typically completed within 24 hours, with dispensing from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
What to Expect When Taking Orlistat
Orlistat works best when you follow a lower-fat diet with approximately 15g fat per meal. Higher fat intake increases the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools or urgent bowel movements. These effects are actually signs the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt their diet. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
