Managing Orlistat Side Effects Through Our UK Pharmacy
Understanding Why Orlistat Causes Wind
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds frequently receives questions about orlistat's gastrointestinal side effects, including wind and flatulence. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. When unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system, it can cause increased gas production, leading to flatulence with or without oily discharge. This side effect occurs because your body is processing the fat differently than usual.
Minimising Wind and Flatulence
Our UK-licensed prescribers recommend keeping dietary fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to significantly reduce wind and other gastrointestinal side effects. When you order orlistat 120mg (from £16.89), Xenical 120mg (from £21.50), or Alli 60mg (from £28.99) through EverydayMeds, you receive comprehensive dietary guidance alongside your prescription. The lower your fat intake per meal, the fewer side effects you'll typically experience.
Product Options at Our Leicester Pharmacy
EverydayMeds stocks three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10) typically produces milder side effects including less wind and flatulence.
