Orlistat 120mg Capsules

Orlistat is not an appetite suppressant, it helps to reduce the absorption of the fat you consume, thereby helping you to lose weight. Appetite suppressants are not normally medically advised for use, and many appetite suppressants are not regulated in their manufacture or sale, meaning they may not be safe to take.

Body Mass Index (commonly referred to as BMI) is a measure of your body weight compared to your height to give an estimate of whether you are a healthy weight for your height. Normally, for adults, a BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. Anything below 18.5 is considered underweight, whereas a BMI of 25 and above is considered overweight. If your BMI is over 30, it is classed as obese, and you are suitable for treatment with Orlistat capsules. It is important to note that BMI gives a fairly accurate result for most people; some who are very short, very tall or those who carry a lot of muscle may find their score is less accurate. You can find out more about BMI and calculate your own on the NHS website.

If you take the Orlistat capsules as prescribed and make healthy lifestyle changes, you could typically expect a reduction of around 5% of your body weight in 12 weeks since starting the treatment.

When you're ready for the next order, you should tell us about your current weight so we can make sure you're on the right track to achieve your 5% goal.

Keeping us up-to-date allows us to ensure that the weight loss medication is suitable for your situation. It also gives you an opportunity to bring up any questions about your weight loss journey so far.

We understand that every weight loss journey is unique, and while Orlistat has been successful for many, individual results may vary. You're not alone in this journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Losing weight primarily involves adopting a healthy lifestyle where more calories are burned than are consumed, Orlistat can help to increase the weight loss you would see with diet and exercise but is unlikely to help if no other measures are also taken.

Yes, you should only take Orlistat with meals that contain fat, if you are having a very low or no-fat meal, there is no need to take Orlistat as there is no fat for it to stop being absorbed. Some people find that they only need to take one Orlistat capsule daily with their evening meal if they are on a very low calorie diet.

We do not advise using other weight loss treatments or tablets with Orlistat. The interactions can cause some unpleasant side effects. You should follow a strict diet and exercise regime while taking Orlistat capsules to get the most out of them. Consider taking a multivitamin supplement at bedtime to ensure you are still getting all the essential vitamins and minerals required by your body.

All three treatments (Orlistat capsules, Xenical and Alli) contain Orlistat as the active ingredient. However, the difference lies in their strength and the way you can get them. Alli contains 60mg of Orlistat and you can buy it over the counter. Orlistat and Xenical are stronger with 120mg of Orlistat, and you can get them only on prescription.

Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss aid. For that reason, to ensure the safety of our patients and the legal operating of our pharmacy, we only supply a maximum of 3 months treatment at one time. Orlistat treatment is normally judged for effectiveness after 1-3 months on the amount of weight you have managed to lose. This means that if you do not find Orlistat as effective as you would like, you are not stuck with an excess of medication. If you are happy with the results, you can log in and re-order another supply, provided you are still losing weight, and your BMI is above the treatment threshold.

You should take Orlistat capsules with a fat-containing meal or up to one hour afterwards. If your meal contains no fat or is a small snack, there is no need to take an Orlistat capsule.

Unfortunately, Orlistat is only available in capsule form, as the generic treatment Orlistat 120mg capsules or the brand Xenical 120mg capsules.
