Save Money on Orlistat - How Long Does It Take to Work?
When Does Orlistat Start Working?
Orlistat begins working with your first dose when taken with a meal containing fat. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your digestive system. You may notice gastrointestinal effects within 24-48 hours of starting treatment - these are signs the medication is working effectively.

What to Expect When Starting Orlistat
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system, not your brain. When taken with meals containing fat, it inhibits lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of dietary fat cannot be absorbed and passes through your body naturally. The medication is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
