Manage Side Effects While Saving Money on Treatment
Why Does Orlistat Cause Diarrhea?
Orlistat causes diarrhea because it blocks lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat must exit your body naturally, often resulting in loose, oily stools or diarrhea. The higher the fat content of your meals, the more severe these side effects tend to be. Understanding this mechanism helps you better manage treatment whilst saving money with code EDM10.

Managing Orlistat-Related Diarrhea
To minimise diarrhea and loose stools, keep your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal. This significantly reduces gastrointestinal side effects whilst allowing orlistat to work effectively. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, and consider wearing dark underwear or using panty liners during initial treatment. Side effects often improve as your body adapts to a lower-fat diet.
