What is Orlistat?

Orlistat is a weight loss medication used to assist people who are overweight in reducing their BMI. It is indicated in people with a BMI over 30, or 28 for those with additional risk factors. Orlistat is the generic version of the better-known brand, Xenical. They come in capsule form, and the prescription-only version contains 120mg of the active ingredient.

How Does it Work?

Orlistat capsules work by preventing around a third of the fat from the food you eat from being digested. The undigested fat is not absorbed and is passed out with your faeces. Orlistat works in the same way as the over the counter medicine Alli. They contain the same active ingredient (Orlistat), however, the prescription version is twice the strength (120mg instead of 60mg) .

By decreasing the amount of fat the body absorbs and improving your diet and exercise routine, it is possible to achieve significant weight loss.

Before using Orlistat or Xenical, you should read the patient information leaflet.

 

Orlistat Dosage

The usual dosage of Orlistat is 120mg three times a day (each time you eat a meal). As it works to reduce the fat absorbed by your body, you do not need to take a dose if you skip a meal. You also don’t need to take a dose if you have a 0 fat meal, as there will be not fat for the body to absorb!

Losing Weight with Orlistat

Orlistat helps you avoid gaining weight by reducing the amount of fat absorbed by your body. However, it does not necessarily cause you to lose weight. Therefore, it’s still important to stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan. In combination, the drug can be successful in reducing your weight into a more healthy BMI range .

Orlistat (Xenical) is usually recommended if you have made a significant effort to lose weight through diet, exercise or changing your lifestyle.

Even then, orlistat is only prescribed if you have:

• a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or more and other conditions related to weight, such as high blood pressure
• a BMI of 30 or more

Effectiveness

So does Orlistat actually work? In short, yes! Orlistat is recommended to be taken over a 12 week period and most people can expect to lose around 5% of their original body weight if combined with a good lifestyle and regular exercise.

The medication itself should reduce the amount of dietary fat absorbed by your body by around 33%, so this gives you a good opportunity to lose weight if you increase the amount of exercise you do.

Studies have shown you are around 3 times more likley to lose significant weight with Orlistat, than patient who take a dummy pill.

Side Effects of Orlistat

Common side effects of Orlistat (Xenical) can include:

• fatty or oily stools
• more regular bowel movements
• needing the toilet urgently
• oily discharge from your rectum (you may have oily spots on your underwear)
• flatulence (wind)

These side effects are much less likely to occur if you stick to a low-fat diet .

 

Alternatives

While Orlistat provides the most affordable treatment, some patients do prefer to stick to the original branded version of the drug, Xenical. This also contains 120mg of Orlistat but is more expensive.

Diet and exercise alone, is always the preferred method for weight loss. This is not always possible, however. Many patients may have chronic pain which can make exercise difficult.

Medication such as Saxenda Pens, work to suppress appetite and have shown good results. A new and improved weight loss injection, Wegovy, has recently been approved in the UK and was released in September 2023.

Ozempic and Mounjaro are also medications which are availablein the UK for weight loss. These are both injection pens, and can help achieve ~15-20% body weight loss.
