Understanding Orlistat Side Effects Through Online Consultation
Does Orlistat Cause Constipation? Professional Assessment Available
Constipation is not commonly reported with orlistat use. The medication primarily causes gastrointestinal side effects related to unabsorbed dietary fat, typically including oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and urgent bowel movements. Our UK-licensed prescribers provide comprehensive side effect guidance during your online consultation, ensuring you understand what to expect and how to manage any symptoms effectively.
Online Prescription Process for Orlistat 120mg
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and assesses whether orlistat 120mg (from £32.99 for 4 weeks, £29.69 with EDM10) or Xenical 120mg (from £42.99 for 4 weeks, £38.69 with EDM10) is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Managing Gastrointestinal Effects During Treatment
While constipation isn't typical, orlistat does affect digestion by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Our prescribers advise on maintaining a balanced, lower-fat diet to minimise side effects. They'll recommend keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each to reduce the likelihood of oily stools, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort. If you experience unusual symptoms like constipation, professional guidance is available.
Flexible Treatment Options Through Online Prescribing

Alternatively, consider Alli 60mg at half-strength for potentially milder effects, or branded Xenical if you prefer the original formulation.
