Important Information

How Does Orlistat Work?

Orlistat works by blocking enzymes in the digestive system that break down dietary fat. As a result, approximately one-third of the fat consumed is not absorbed and passes naturally through the body.

For best results, Orlistat should be used alongside:

  • A calorie-controlled diet
  • Regular physical activity
  • Long-term healthy lifestyle habits

Who Is Orlistat Suitable For?

Orlistat may be suitable for adults who:

  • Have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above
  • Have a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions
  • Prefer tablets rather than injections
  • Are committed to making lifestyle changes alongside treatment

Our clinicians will assess your suitability during your consultation

What Results Can I Expect?

Clinical studies have shown that Orlistat can help patients lose more weight than diet and exercise alone. When combined with healthy lifestyle changes, many patients achieve a weight loss of 5–10% of their starting body weight over 12 months.

Individual results vary and depend on factors such as diet, physical activity and adherence to treatment. Orlistat is most effective when used as part of a long-term weight management programme.
