Orlistat

Orlistat - pronounced OR-li-stat (also known as Xenical)

Orlistat is a weight-control prescription drug that keeps your body from absorbing fat from the food you eat.

How it Works


Orlistat blocks the enzyme lipase. Lipase is responsible for breaking down dietary fats to prepare them for bile and absorption. When fat isn't broken down, the body can not absorb it, so you will take in fewer calories.

Also... the fat will go right through you, making you spend a lot of time in the bathroom.

Side Effects of Orlistat


Orlistat may cause:
  • diarrhea
  • cramping
  • gas with oily spotting
  • leakage of oily stool
  • loose stools
  • oily or fatty stools
  • increased number of bowel movements
  • difficulty controlling bowel movements
  • pain or discomfort in the rectum (bottom)
  • irregular menstrual periods
  • headache
  • anxiety
Eating a low-fat diet can help prevent these side effects.

Orlistat may prevent your body from absorbing the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E from the foods you eat. Talk with your doctor about whether you should take a multivitamin.

Before taking Orlistat, ask your doctor about the benefits and the side effects.

Orlistat is a drug to treat obesity. Its primary function is to prevent the absorption of fat in food, thereby reducing caloric intake. It is designed to be used with a reduced calorie diet doctor-supervised. Orlistat is the saturated derivative of lipstatin, a potent natural inhibitor of pancreatic lipases isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces toxytricini.
