Orlistat Tablets
(120mg)
What is it?
Orlistat is a weight loss medication that has been clinically proven to assist individuals with a body mass index (BMI) over 30.
It operates by preventing the absorption of up to 30% of the fat ingested during meals, thereby limiting its storage in the body's fat reserves.
The efficacy of this medication has been demonstrated in clinical trials, where it was observed that users were able to lose anywhere between 5% to 10% of their body weight with each use.
Is it approved by the MHRA?
Yes, Orlistat is approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK as a prescription-only medication for weight loss.
How often would I take it?
The recommended dose of Orlistat is one 120 mg capsule taken three times a day with each main meal that contains fat.
It should be taken during or up to one hour after the meal.
When will I see results?
If combined with a healthy diet (preferably with a fat content of around 30% or less) and exercise, Orlistat can produce noticeable results within 2 to 3 months. However, if you have lost less than 5% of your starting weight after 12 weeks of treatment, you should consult with your doctor.

HOW GLP-1 WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION WORKS
GLP-1 medication works by mimicking our body’s own gut hormones to suppress hunger. Saxenda, (liraglutide) for example, is 97% similar to your body’s own GLP-1
GLP-1 medication works in the hypothalamus where it interacts with specific neurons involved in the regulation of hunger and food intake
GLP-1 medication increases the feeling of “being full” and decreased hunger
As a result of this mechanism, patients feel satisfied on less food, leading to weight loss
