Is Orlistat a Laxative? Understanding How It Works
Orlistat is not a laxative, though it can cause similar gastrointestinal effects. This prescription weight loss medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat then passes naturally through your digestive system, which can cause oily stools and increased bowel movement frequency—effects that lead some people to wonder if orlistat is a laxative.
Online Prescription Process Made Simple
Getting orlistat through our online prescription service is straightforward. Complete our clinical questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your details and, if clinically appropriate, issues your prescription. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery.
Orlistat Pricing and Options
We offer three orlistat options following successful clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg offers the identical clinical effect at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All options require online clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers.
Managing Gastrointestinal Effects
While orlistat isn't a laxative, its fat-blocking mechanism can cause similar effects. These occur because unabsorbed fat must exit your body naturally. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces these effects. Most patients find symptoms improve as they adapt to a lower-fat diet—exactly what orlistat is designed to encourage for successful weight management.
