Why Orlistat Causes Wind - Get Prescribed Today
Why Does Orlistat Make You Fart?
Orlistat causes flatulence because it blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your gut. This unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system and can cause wind, sometimes with oily discharge. The mechanism that makes orlistat effective for weight management - inhibiting lipase enzymes - naturally leads to these gastrointestinal side effects. Understanding this helps you manage expectations when starting treatment.
Getting Orlistat Prescribed Online in the UK
Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability for orlistat through a secure online consultation. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for 42 capsules (2 weeks), Xenical 120mg from £19.35, or lower-strength Alli 60mg from £26.09. Save 10% on every order with code EDM10. Complete your health questionnaire covering your BMI, medical history, and current medications. If clinically appropriate, your prescription will be issued and dispatched the same day.
Managing Flatulence While Taking Orlistat
You can significantly reduce wind and other side effects by keeping meals low in fat - approximately 15g fat per meal. High-fat meals increase the likelihood of flatulence with oily discharge. Most patients find side effects improve within a few weeks as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. These effects are actually a sign that orlistat is working by preventing fat absorption.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Online Prescription Options
All three contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically identical - generic orlistat offers the same effect at lower cost (4-week supply £29.69 vs £38.69). Alli 60mg is half-strength and may cause milder side effects including less severe flatulence. Our prescribers will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual assessment. Order online with prescription included - no separate GP fees.
