Who qualifies for Orlistat

When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor for Orlistat, they look for specific criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment. Orlistat is typically prescribed for adults who have:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obese).
• A BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with additional weight-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

The doctor also checks for contraindications, such as chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, or known hypersensitivity to Orlistat. Your comprehensive medical questionnaire helps the doctor make an informed decision about whether Orlistat is appropriate for your health situation.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. This means it works in your digestive system to prevent about a third of the fat from the food you eat from being absorbed. Instead, this unabsorbed fat is passed out of your body in your stools. This reduction in fat absorption helps decrease your total calorie intake, leading to weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise.

It's important to understand that Orlistat is not a miracle pill. It supports weight loss but does not replace healthy lifestyle changes. Realistic expectations are key: studies show typical weight loss of 5-10% of initial body weight over 6-12 months. Orlistat does not burn existing fat or suppress appetite directly; it acts on dietary fat intake.

Side effects and when to stop

As Orlistat prevents fat absorption, its most common side effects are gastrointestinal. These include:

• Oily spotting, gas with discharge, urgent bowel movements, and fatty or oily stools.
• Increased frequency of bowel movements.

These side effects are often more noticeable if you consume high-fat meals and typically decrease as you adjust your diet. It's crucial to follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet while taking Orlistat to manage these effects.

Less common but more serious side effects include liver problems (yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe stomach pain). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if your condition worsens, stop taking Orlistat and consult with your doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician is available via the private chat in your account for any concerns.
