Online Prescription Process for Orlistat Treatment
Does Orlistat Actually Cause Headaches?
Headaches are not commonly reported as a side effect of orlistat treatment. The most frequently experienced side effects are gastrointestinal, including oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These occur because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, and unabsorbed fat passes through the digestive system. Unlike some weight loss medications that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut and is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream.

EverydayMeds makes accessing orlistat simple through our regulated online prescription service.

Complete Clinical Assessment Process
Your online consultation covers essential health factors including BMI calculation, existing medical conditions, current medications, and weight-related health risks. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess whether orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances. Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The assessment ensures safe, appropriate treatment tailored to your health profile.
What to Expect During Treatment
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat, preventing approximately one third of fat absorption. This mechanism explains why gastrointestinal side effects are common, particularly when eating high-fat meals. To minimise side effects, maintain a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with approximately 15g fat per meal. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt their diet. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
