Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment?
Orlistat prescription weight loss tablets may be suitable for adults aged 18 and over with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by qualified UK-licensed healthcare professionals. Our online consultation process makes accessing this prescription weight loss support convenient and discreet.

How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake from fat as part of a comprehensive weight management programme. The medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Individual results vary, and long-term success depends on continued lifestyle changes.
Who Should Not Take Orlistat?
Certain individuals should not use orlistat, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18 years old, or have chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis. Those taking medications such as ciclosporin, warfarin, or thyroid medication require careful assessment. Your prescriber will review your full medical history and current medications to ensure orlistat is safe and appropriate for you.
