Understanding Orlistat Side Effects from Trusted UK Experts
Does Orlistat Cause Diarrhea? Clinical Facts from UK Prescribers
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds provides honest information about orlistat's gastrointestinal effects. Orlistat may cause loose or liquid stools in some patients, particularly when dietary fat intake exceeds recommended levels. Our UK-licensed prescribers explain that these effects occur because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, and unabsorbed fat passes through the digestive system. This is a sign the medication is working, but can be managed effectively with proper dietary guidance.
Professional Guidance on Managing Digestive Side Effects
Our qualified prescribers recommend keeping dietary fat to approximately 15g per meal to minimise gastrointestinal effects including loose stools. EverydayMeds supplies genuine orlistat 120mg from £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg from £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10), and Alli 60mg from £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). Each treatment includes comprehensive guidance on dietary management to reduce digestive side effects whilst maximising weight management benefits.
