What Is Orlistat and What Is It Used for?
Orlistat is a generic brand of medicine used to treat obesity; this is where you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or over. Orlistat can also be prescribed when your BMI is 28 or over, and there are other risk factors present, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Orlistat helps your body to lose weight by preventing up to one-third of dietary fat from being absorbed by the body. By using Orlistat, you could stand to lose up to 5% of your body weight in the first 3 months of treatment.
Orlistat is the only prescription-only medicine licensed in the UK to aid weight loss, making it a safe alternative to buying unregulated treatments online. However, the treatment should only ever be used in conjunction with a low-fat, low-calorie diet and an active lifestyle.
How Does Orlistat Work?
Orlistat helps you lose weight by blocking the enzymes in your gut that digest fat. Nearly a third of the fat you eat is blocked by Orlistat, and any undigested fat is passed through your stools instead of absorbed into your body.
We understand that achieving your weight loss goals is a holistic process. That’s why we recommend combining Orlistat with a balanced, low-fat diet and regular exercise for the most effective results. If you’re having a meal without dietary fat, there’s no need to take Orlistat at that time. We understand that every meal is different, and we want to ensure that you’re using Orlistat when it can be most effective for you.
