How Orlistat Supports Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed in your digestive system. This prescription weight loss medication acts locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary sources. Orlistat may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Individual responses vary, and treatment suitability requires assessment by a qualified UK prescriber.

Weight Loss Eligibility and Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Following your online consultation, our UK-licensed prescribers will assess whether treatment is appropriate for your individual circumstances. Treatment must always be combined with a structured weight management programme including dietary changes and increased activity levels.
Understanding Orlistat and Lamotrigine Interactions
If you're taking lamotrigine for epilepsy or bipolar disorder alongside considering orlistat for weight management, it's essential to discuss this combination with your prescriber. Whilst orlistat acts locally in the gut and has minimal systemic absorption, some patients taking antiepileptic medications like lamotrigine may require additional monitoring. Our clinical assessment includes reviewing all current medications to ensure safe prescribing. Always inform your prescriber about any medications you're currently taking during your consultation.
