What is Orlistat

Orlistat is a prescription medication designed to assist with weight loss and long-term weight management. Here’s what you should know:

Active ingredient

Orlistat is the active ingredient which works by blocking the fat from your food from being absorbed in your stomach.

How it works

It prevents the enzymes in your digestive system from breaking down fat, which means less is absorbed; so the fat you eat stays in your digestive tract and is passed in your stool (poo).

Administration

Orlistat is taken up to three times a day with each main meal.

Suitability

Suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 28 or more with weight-related conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol.

Effectiveness

With regular use, you can expect weight loss of about 5-10% of body weight.

Side effects

Common side effects include the need to go to the toilet more often and more urgently, farting more often, oily or fatty stools, and an oily discharge from your rectum. These are less common if you significantly reduce the fat in your diet.
Only purchase Wegovy from reputable sources to avoid counterfeit medications and ensure you receive genuine, safe treatment.

Supporting your mental health

Obesity, being overweight mental health problems, such as depression and eating disorders, can negatively affect each other, making it harder to manage your weight. It’s important to recognise the link between your mental health and your weight so you can seek help if you need it.

Talking therapies

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effective for tackling the psychological challenges associated with eating disorders and obesity. It focuses on changing the way you think and behave, helping to break the cycle of negative thoughts and actions that can impact eating habits and body image.

To find a CBT therapist via the NHS, you can refer yourself or speak to your GP, who can refer you to talking therapies in UK.

Why it’s important

By addressing mental health alongside physical health, you have a much better chance of succeeding with Orlistat, improving your overall wellbeing and quality of life. If you find yourself in need of urgent mental health support, contact your local mental health helpline provided by the NHS. These resources can provide immediate care and support in times of need, ensuring that no one has to face their challenges alone.

Keeping active

Exercise doesn’t just burn calories. By triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers, exercise has been shown to help combat depression and anxiety.

There’s plenty of ways to stay active in UK, from local gyms and fitness classes to parks and recreational facilities.

Support in UK

In UK, the NHS provides comprehensive mental health support for Orlistat patients. They can help with eating disorders and weight-related mental health issues.

Discuss your mental health with your GP in UK who can refer you to a specialist. You may also be able to refer yourself directly without a referral, but you will need to be registered with a GP to get talking therapies on the NHS. You can find a GP in UK on the NHS website.
