Effective Weight Loss Aid
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss treatment designed to help individuals manage their weight by reducing fat absorption. When used alongside a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise, Orlistat can support long-term weight loss by preventing dietary fat from being absorbed by the body.
How Does Orlistat Work?
Orlistat works by blocking the enzymes that break down fat in the digestive system. This means that around 30% of dietary fat is not absorbed and is instead eliminated naturally from the body. By reducing calorie intake from fat, Orlistat helps individuals lose weight more effectively when combined with a balanced diet.

How to Use Ozempic®
How to Use Orlistat
Orlistat is an oral medication that aids weight loss by reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs from your diet. It is typically used alongside a calorie-controlled, low-fat diet to help with gradual, sustainable weight loss.
Taking Orlistat:
- Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal (up to three times a day).
- The capsule should be swallowed whole with water, immediately before, during, or up to one hour after the meal.
- If you miss a meal, or if the meal contains no fat, you should skip that dose of Orlistat.
- Maintain a healthy, balanced diet that contains around 30% of calories from fat.
Taking Orlistat without a low-fat diet can increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
