Understanding Oily Stools: Get Private Prescription Today
Why Orlistat Causes Oily Stools - The Science Behind It
Orlistat causes oily stools because it works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat for absorption. When orlistat inhibits approximately one third of these enzymes, the unabsorbed fat cannot be digested and passes through your body naturally, often resulting in oily or fatty stools. This is actually a sign that the medication is working effectively to reduce calorie absorption from dietary fat.
Private Prescription: Skip NHS Delays
Rather than waiting for NHS appointments, our private prescription service provides faster access to orlistat treatment. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough online clinical assessments, reviewing your BMI, medical history, and weight management goals. Following approval, we dispense genuine orlistat 120mg from £15.20 (with EDM10), branded Xenical from £19.35, or lower-strength Alli 60mg from £26.09 for a four-week supply.
Managing Oily Stool Side Effects
The key to minimising oily stools whilst taking orlistat is maintaining a low-fat diet - approximately 15g fat per meal or 30% of daily calories from fat. High-fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily spotting, urgent bowel movements, and fatty stools. Many patients find wearing dark underwear or panty liners helpful during initial treatment weeks.
Your Treatment Options Explained
We offer three orlistat options following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective treatment from £29.69 monthly (84 capsules with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg offers identical clinical effects at £38.69 monthly. For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg starts from £26.09 monthly, typically causing milder side effects including less severe oily stools.
