Get Professional Answers About Orlistat & Your Cycle
How Orlistat May Affect Your Menstrual Cycle
Irregular menstruation has been reported as an uncommon side effect of orlistat, affecting up to 1 in 100 people taking the medication. This weight loss treatment works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, which can influence hormone levels and subsequently affect your menstrual cycle. Our UK-licensed prescribers can provide personalised guidance based on your individual health circumstances.

Orlistat Treatment Options & Pricing
We offer three clinically effective options following prescriber approval. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £29.69 for 4 weeks with code EDM10, offering the same clinical effect as branded Xenical (from £38.69).
