Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. Lipases are gut enzymes that break down fat from food, enabling the gut to transport fat into the body to be burnt for energy or stored in our fat cells for later use.
Orlistat blocks lipases, preventing some of the dietary fat from our meals from being digested. This leads to fewer calories being absorbed, which can support weight loss.
Orlistat is a prescription medication produced by two pharmaceutical companies in the UK:
However, it’s recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional or a pharmacist before purchasing weight-loss pills.
Orlistat (Xenical/Alli) has been to lead to a weight loss of 4% of body weight after three months and around 8% after one year. It’s generally well-tolerated, with fewer than 10% of people stopping the medication due to adverse effects.
However, research has shown that other weight-loss medications lead to significantly more weight loss, with orlistat often performing worse than other medications, such as liraglutide (Saxenda).
In a comparing orlistat with four other weight-loss medications, including liraglutide, orlistat was found to be the least likely to lead to more than 5% weight loss.
At the same time, a with 237 participants investigated the impact of orlistat in a real-world setting to determine adherence to the medication and whether they were well tolerated.
The results showed that participants lost around 4% of body weight after three months. 80% of participants reported being satisfied with the drug due to its positive effect on weight loss.
This suggests that despite its modest effects on weight loss, the medication’s tolerability may support some people to stay on it for longer and change their diet and lifestyle.
Lipase inhibitors like Xenical and Alli can lead to weight loss of 4-8% after one year, alongside changes to diet and lifestyle.
They’re also well-tolerated, with human clinical trials indicating less than 10% of people stop taking the medication due to adverse effects.
However, all medications come with risks and rewards, and not everyone is suitable for weight-loss medications like Orlistat.
Deciding to start a new medication is a highly personal choice. So, ultimately, it depends on whether you believe it’s the best decision for your health going forward.
All weight-loss medications are designed to be taken alongside changes to your lifestyle. Without this, the effects of the drug will not last, and you’ll likely regain any weight you lose in the future.

What is orlistat (orlistat tablets (120mg), capsules (12.5mg),rocal (120mg), generic (Orlistat 120mg), orlistat (Orlistat 120mg))This medication is a lipase inhibitor. Lipases are responsible for breaking down medication into pure substances. Lipases are absorbed into the bloodstream and leave a coating on the tablet. Orlistat can retard the absorption of food into the stomach and intestines, allowing energy and nutrients to be available from the food. This method of stomach/intestines treatment is very effective for individuals who are unable to swallow traditional hard capsules or tablets.
How it worksOrlistat works by preventing the absorption of dietary fat into the bloodstream. Without this, the medication will not be absorbed and may only be taken in the presence of a meal. Without this, the medication will not be effective. When taken with a proper meal, orlistat will prevent the fat from being cleared from the stomach and intestines.
