Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Action Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that normally break down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system and is excreted. Unlike appetite suppressants that work on your brain, orlistat acts locally in your gut, which explains why it's unlikely to directly affect your menstrual cycle through hormonal pathways.
Can Orlistat Affect Your Periods?
While orlistat doesn't directly impact hormones, some women report menstrual changes during weight loss treatment. This is typically due to weight loss itself rather than orlistat's fat-blocking action. Weight changes can affect hormone levels, which may influence your cycle. If you experience irregular periods whilst taking orlistat, consult your healthcare provider. Our generic orlistat 120mg at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10) offers the same proven mechanism as branded alternatives.
Three Options - Same Proven Fat-Blocking Technology
Choose from orlistat 120mg (generic) from £15.20, Xenical 120mg (branded) from £19.35, or Alli 60mg from £26.09 - all with EDM10 discount. The 120mg options provide maximum fat-blocking power, while Alli offers a gentler introduction at half the dose. All work through the same lipase-inhibiting mechanism that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
The beauty of orlistat's mechanism is its simplicity and measurability. When you reduce fat absorption by approximately one third, you're cutting significant calories from your diet. Combined with a lower-fat eating plan, this creates the calorie deficit needed for weight loss. The gastrointestinal side effects, while inconvenient, actually demonstrate the medicine is working - unabsorbed fat has to go somewhere.
