Orlistat is a prescription drug used in the treatment of obesity that reduces the amount of fat absorbed by the body. Orlistat is a type of drug called a lipase inhibitor. Orlistat works by blocking at the source of about half of the fat that is absorbed in the body. This fat is removed by the liver and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Orlistat is used to treat obesity and help in weight loss. Orlistat is to be used along with a low-calorie diet and regular physical exercise. Obesity is a common condition associated with excessive body fat, which in turn increases the risk of other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and heart disease. Intake of more calories than you burn by exercise or daily activities results in obesity.
Orlistat contains Orlistat, which works in the small intestine and stomach and prevents the action of enzymes that break down fat, which is absorbed by the body. Orlistat decreases the absorption of fat from the food you eat. Thus, fat passes through the gut and is excreted in the faeces, which makes the body unable to use fat as a source of energy or convert it into fat tissue. Thereby, Orlistat helps in weight loss.
Take Orlistat as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Orlistat for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience soft stools, sudden bowel motions, flatulence (gas) with or without oily spotting, oily or fatty stools, stomach pain, stool incontinence (involuntary leakage of stools), and runny or liquid stools. Most of these side effects of Orlistat do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Orlistat or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking Orlistat if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, as it may cause fetal harm. It is not known whether Orlistat is excreted in human milk. Therefore, please consult a doctor if you are a breastfeeding woman. Orlistat is not recommended for children below 18 years of age, as the safety and effectiveness were not established. You are advised to take a multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K at bedtime as Orlistat may reduce the absorption of certain vitamins in the body.

Objective:Obese patients taking orlistat, the lipase inhibitor of thelistat, and overweight (BMI >30) patients taking a weight-loss medication, were enrolled in this study. In addition, overweight (BMI >30 kg/m²) patients and those with a BMI >27 kg/m² and ≥ 30 kg/m² were considered as the reference groups. The efficacy of orlistat and the other two groups was analyzed in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using the same methods. Results: The prevalence of BMI >30 kg/m² was significantly higher in overweight patients, and the patients on orlistat had significantly higher BMI >27 kg/m². In addition, there was a significant increase in the incidence of overweight and obesity in patients taking orlistat. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was not significantly different in the two groups. Conclusions: In overweight patients, orlistat was associated with a significantly higher BMI >30 kg/m², and obesity was significantly higher in patients on orlistat. This study provides a novel indication for weight-loss medication use in patients with overweight and obesity, and may improve treatment outcomes for patients with overweight and obesity.
