Orlistat is a weight loss medication that works by preventing the absorption of fat from the food you eat. It is typically used by adults who are overweight or obese and looking to manage their weight in combination with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, Orlistat acts locally in the digestive tract, targeting the enzyme lipase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down dietary fat so it can be absorbed by the body. By inhibiting lipase, Orlistat ensures that about one-third of dietary fat is not absorbed and is instead passed through the body naturally.
Orlistat is usually taken three times per day with each main meal that contains fat. Its effectiveness is closely linked to maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity. Most users begin to see gradual weight reduction within a few weeks. Additionally, Orlistat has been shown to help improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar control in people with weight-related health conditions.
The most common side effects are digestive in nature and include oily or fatty stools, increased bowel movements, or stomach discomfort. These side effects often decrease as the body adjusts and as users adopt a diet lower in fat. To support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, it is often recommended to take a multivitamin supplement at a different time of day than the Orlistat dose.
