How Orlistat Helps You Lose Weight
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. It inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing fat absorption. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your calorie intake from fat. Orlistat must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity for effective weight management.

How the Private Prescription Process Works
1. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI
2. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours
3. If suitable, your prescription is issued and sent to our pharmacy
4. Your orlistat is dispensed and dispatched with tracked next day delivery
5. Continue your weight loss journey with ongoing support
This regulated process meets the same clinical standards as face-to-face consultations but provides faster access without NHS waiting times.
Who May Be Suitable for Private Orlistat Prescription?
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber will assess individual suitability based on your medical history and current health status. Not everyone will be eligible - final prescribing decisions are made by qualified healthcare professionals following clinical review.
Managing Side Effects While Losing Weight on Orlistat
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and urgent need for the toilet. Side effects can be significantly reduced by keeping fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) and are often a sign the medication is working. Most patients find side effects decrease as they adapt their diet.
