Does Orlistat Make You Urinate More?
Orlistat doesn't typically increase urination frequency. Unlike some weight loss medications that work through your kidneys or nervous system, orlistat works locally in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut, meaning unabsorbed fat passes through your bowel rather than your urinary system.
How Orlistat Actually Works
Orlistat 120mg capsules work by blocking fat absorption in your digestive tract. When taken with meals containing fat, orlistat prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat is eliminated through bowel movements, which explains why gastrointestinal effects are the most common side effects, not urinary changes.
Available Orlistat Options & Pricing
Choose from three clinically effective options: Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same active ingredient for £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10.
Common Side Effects vs Urination
While orlistat doesn't typically increase urination, it may cause gastrointestinal effects including oily stools, increased bowel movement frequency, and oily spotting. These effects are directly related to fat intake - keeping meals to approximately 15g fat helps minimise side effects significantly. Any concerns about urinary changes should be discussed with your prescriber.
