Managing Digestive Changes with Prescription Orlistat
Understanding Orlistat and Digestive Changes
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. While most patients experience oily stools and increased bowel frequency, some may encounter constipation, particularly when significantly reducing fat intake. This prescription weight loss medication requires careful dietary management to work effectively whilst minimising uncomfortable side effects.
Why Constipation May Occur with Orlistat
When starting orlistat treatment, dramatic dietary changes can sometimes lead to constipation. Reducing fat intake too severely, inadequate fibre consumption, or insufficient fluid intake may contribute to this issue. The medication blocks fat absorption, but sudden dietary restrictions without proper nutritional balance can affect normal digestive patterns. Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on maintaining healthy digestion during treatment.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Following clinical assessment, choose from our prescription weight loss options. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value: 4-week supply (84 capsules) £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg provides the identical clinical effect as the branded option: 4-week supply £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with code EDM10. Both require prescription following online consultation with our UK-licensed healthcare professionals.
Managing Constipation During Orlistat Treatment
Effective constipation management involves maintaining adequate fibre intake through vegetables, fruits, and whole grains whilst keeping fat content per meal around 15g. Increase water consumption to at least 8 glasses daily. Gentle physical activity supports healthy digestion. Never stop taking orlistat without consulting your prescriber - instead, discuss dietary adjustments and supportive measures to maintain comfortable bowel function throughout treatment.
