Orlistat and Constipation: What You Need to Know
Does orlistat cause constipation? The answer is that orlistat doesn't typically cause constipation. In fact, the most common bowel-related side effects are quite the opposite - loose or oily stools and increased frequency of bowel movements. This occurs because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, and unabsorbed fat passes through the digestive system naturally.
All orlistat products are currently in stock at EverydayMeds. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 (normally £16.89) with code EDM10, while branded Xenical 120mg is available from £19.35 (normally £21.50). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg starts from £26.09 with our 10% discount.
How Orlistat Actually Affects Your Digestive System
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing the absorption of approximately one third of the fat you eat. This mechanism means that instead of constipation, patients more commonly experience oily or fatty stools, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. These effects can be minimised by following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside your medication.
Our UK-licensed prescribers can provide personalised guidance about managing digestive effects during your online consultation. They'll assess your individual health circumstances and discuss any concerns about bowel changes when taking orlistat.

Managing Digestive Effects While Taking Orlistat
If you're concerned about bowel changes with orlistat, remember that keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces gastrointestinal side effects. Most patients find that digestive effects settle as they adapt to a healthier, lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended to ensure adequate absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
