Understanding Orlistat Side Effects - Get Treatment Online
Why Does Orlistat Cause Orange Stool?
Orange or oily stools occur because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system and is excreted naturally, often appearing as orange, oily, or fatty stools. This side effect actually indicates the medication is working as intended.
The more fat in your meals, the more pronounced these effects become. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces the likelihood of orange stools and other gastrointestinal side effects.
Getting Your Orlistat Prescription Online
Our regulated online prescription service makes accessing orlistat simple. Complete an online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate.
Choose from generic orlistat 120mg starting at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg from £38.69 for 4 weeks, or lower-strength Alli 60mg from £26.09 for 4 weeks. All prices include the prescription and clinical assessment.
Managing Orange Stools While Taking Orlistat
Orange stools are manageable with the right dietary approach. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three meals, keeping each meal to approximately 15g of fat. This reduces the amount of unabsorbed fat passing through your system.
Many patients find wearing dark underwear or a panty liner helpful during the first few weeks of treatment. These side effects typically improve as you adapt to a lower-fat diet and your body adjusts to the medication.
