What is Orlistat?

Orlistat is a weight loss medication used to help reduce body fat by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fat. It works by blocking the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down fats in the digestive tract. As a result, some of the fat you consume is not absorbed by your body and is passed out as waste.

How Does Orlistat Work?

Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fats in the intestines. By blocking this enzyme, Orlistat prevents about 25-30% of the fat from the food you eat from being absorbed into your body. The undigested fat is then excreted through bowel movements.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage for Men

Orlistat is typically taken as a 60 mg or 120 mg capsule three times a day, with each meal containing fat. Men who require higher doses may start with the 120 mg option for more significant fat absorption inhibition. It is important to take Orlistat during or up to 1 hour after eating. If a meal is missed or does not contain fat, the dose should be skipped.

Dosage for Women

Women generally start with a 60 mg capsule three times a day with meals containing fat. This lower dose is often recommended due to lower fat intake, but 120 mg may be prescribed for those needing more substantial weight loss results. It is important to take Orlistat during or up to 1 hour after eating. If a meal is missed or does not contain fat, the dose should be skipped.

Side Effects

While Orlistat can be effective in helping with weight loss, it may also cause some side effects. The most common side effects are related to the gastrointestinal system due to the undigested fat being excreted. Users should be aware of the following:

  • Abdominal pain or discomfort.
  • Loose stools or diarrhea.
  • Flatulence or gas, especially after meals with high fat content.
  • Oily spotting or anal leakage.
  • Increased frequency of bowel movements.

⚠ Important Notes

Orlistat should be used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes a healthy diet and exercise. It is not a substitute for proper dietary habits. It is important to take a multivitamin supplement while using Orlistat, as it may reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Consult your healthcare provider before starting Orlistat, especially if you have any history of digestive disorders or are taking medications for diabetes or thyroid issues.
