Understanding Orlistat Side Effects While Saving Money
Can Orlistat Cause Stomach Cramps?
Yes, orlistat can cause abdominal pain and stomach cramps as a common side effect. These occur because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, and unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system. High-fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including stomach cramps. The good news is that keeping your fat intake low - around 15g per meal - can minimise these effects considerably.

Choosing the Right Orlistat Strength
We stock three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the best value - a 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient but as the branded version costs £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Alli 60mg provides half the prescription strength at £49.49 for 8 weeks with EDM10, potentially causing milder side effects including less severe stomach cramps.
Managing Stomach Cramps Effectively
The key to reducing orlistat-related stomach cramps lies in dietary management. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, keeping each meal to approximately 15g of fat. This approach significantly reduces the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. If you eat a very low-fat meal or skip a meal entirely, you can omit that orlistat dose, which may help prevent unnecessary stomach discomfort.
