Orlistat 120mg Capsules

Yes, you can technically buy Orlistat without a prescription, but the pharmacist will need to conduct an assessment beforehand. Being honest during your assessment is essential because if Orlistat isn't suitable for you, it will impact your weight loss journey.

You can buy Orlistat from most pharmacies in the UK, but you'll need to answer some questions and complete an assessment to ensure the treatment is suitable for your needs.

If you do not diet when taking Orlistat and eat high-fat, high-calorie meals, the likelihood is that you will not lose weight. Doing this will also increase the chance of unpleasant side effects occurring, such as severe diarrhoea.

In adults and children 18 years and over, the dose of Orlistat is one capsule up to three times daily, with or up to one hour after eating a main meal.

The amount of weight you lose whilst taking Orlistat varies depending on several factors, including the number of calories you consume, your exercise levels, your metabolism, your current state of health, your body mass index (BMI) and your starting weight.

Although Orlistat has helped thousands of people lose weight successfully, it is not guaranteed that you will lose weight while taking it. To maximise the potential of losing weight while following this weight-loss treatment, stick to a reduced-calorie diet and exercise more.

In clinical trials, Orlistat has been shown to help people lose more body weight when used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet and exercise than simply dieting alone. Some people have lost up to 10% of their body weight within six months of starting this weight loss program.

When using Orlistat, it's best to avoid other weight loss medications or supplements, as they can interact with your treatment and cause side effects. However, using a multivitamin is a good idea, as Orlistat can impact your body's ability to absorb nutrients.

Please take Orlistat with meals that contain fats or up to an hour after. However, if you're consuming a meal with no fat or having a small snack, you don't need to use Orlistat. Not only will it not work, but you'll also deal with side effects.

Orlistat doesn’t interact with alcohol, so it is safe to drink alcohol with this medication. However, to maximise healthy weight loss, try and reduce your alcohol intake, as alcohol is high in calories.

Orlistat is not a suitable weight loss regime for everyone. Orlistat 120mg capsules may be prescribed if you're medically obese, e.g., your body mass index (BMI) is over 30, or you have a BMI of 28, and you have associated risk factors such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes.

When you order Orlistat from Pharmacy Online, you can choose express delivery, which means you can receive your medicine early. We always aim to deliver quickly, but there may be delays if you order on a weekend.

Do not take Orlistat 120mg capsules if:

You're pregnant or breastfeeding

Under 18 years old

Have chronic malabsorption syndrome

Orlistat (120 mg prescription) is a weight-loss medication that inhibits pancreatic lipases, preventing roughly one-third of dietary fat from being absorbed.

Orlistat is a fat blocker that works by filtering your food. Instead of changing the way your brain works, it stops your body from digesting excess fat, which can result in weight loss.

Because your body absorbs fat, it passes it instead. However, Orlistat only works when you eat a meal that contains fat. If your meal contains high levels of fat, you might experience urgent bowel movements.
