Understanding Orlistat Tiredness During Weight Loss
Why Tiredness May Occur with Orlistat Treatment
Tiredness whilst taking orlistat for weight loss can occur for several reasons. When starting prescription weight loss treatment, your body adjusts to changes in calorie intake and fat absorption. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, which may contribute to temporary fatigue as your system adapts. This tiredness often improves as you settle into your new eating pattern and your energy levels stabilise.
Managing Energy Levels During Orlistat Treatment
Maintaining good energy whilst taking orlistat 120mg requires careful attention to your diet. Since orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), taking a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime can help support your nutritional needs. Focus on eating regular, balanced meals with adequate protein and complex carbohydrates to maintain steady energy throughout the day. Our UK prescribers can provide guidance on managing side effects during your weight loss journey.
