Why Orlistat May Cause Flatulence & How to Order
Understanding Orlistat and Gastrointestinal Effects
Does orlistat make you fart? Yes, flatulence is a very common side effect that may affect more than 1 in 10 people taking orlistat. This happens because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system, which can cause wind, oily discharge, and urgent bowel movements. These effects are actually a sign the medication is working.

At EverydayMeds, code EDM10 gives you 10% off every order - whether you're a new or returning customer. No loyalty schemes or minimum orders required. This means consistent savings every time you reorder: orlistat 120mg from just £15.20 (2-week supply), Xenical 120mg from £19.35, or Alli 60mg from £26.09 (4-week supply).
Managing Side Effects While Saving Money
The key to reducing flatulence and other gastrointestinal side effects is following a lower-fat diet. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise symptoms. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt their diet. When you're managing a long-term weight loss programme, regular savings through EDM10 help make treatment more affordable.
