Understanding Hair Loss During Weight Loss Treatment
Hair Changes During Weight Loss Treatment
Some people notice hair thinning while taking orlistat, though this isn't listed as a common side effect in clinical studies. Hair changes during weight loss can occur due to various factors including rapid weight reduction, dietary changes, or nutritional deficiencies. If you're concerned about hair loss whilst taking orlistat 120mg, Xenical, or Alli, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Supporting Your Hair Health During Treatment
While taking orlistat, your body may absorb fewer fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), which can affect overall health including hair condition. We recommend taking a multivitamin supplement at bedtime, at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose. This helps maintain nutritional balance during your weight management programme. Remember, orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and should always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Choose Your Orlistat Product
All three products contain orlistat as the active ingredient. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £86.39 for 12 weeks (with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg provides the branded option at £116.09 for 12 weeks.
