What is Orlistat?
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that helps people with a BMI over 30, or over 28 with weight-related conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, lose weight. It works by preventing the absorption of some dietary fat, rather than burning existing fat or suppressing appetite.
Who can use Orlistat capsules for weight loss?
Those with a BMI of over 30 or over 28 with existing weight-related conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure and heart problems. The orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only medicine, you will need to have an assessment to check your suitability before this medicine can be prescribed for you.
Is Orlistat approved for weight loss in the UK?
Yes, Orlistat is approved for weight loss in the UK.
What are the potential side effects of Orlistat?
While not everyone experiences side effects with Orlistat, some people may notice changes in their bowel habits, such as increased wind, oily spotting, or loose stools. These effects are generally mild and temporary, improving as your body gets used to the medication. Refer to the Patient Information Leaflet for the full list of side effects.
How should you take Orlistat?
Take one orlistat capsule with water before, during, or up to an hour after each main meal that contains fat (maximum 3 capsules daily). Skip the capsule if you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal.
What's the difference between Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli?
Orlistat is the generic medicine name whereas Alli and Xenical are branded versions of Orlistat. The active ingredient, Orlistat, is the same in all three medicines.
How does Orlistat work?
Orlistat helps you lose weight by preventing your body from absorbing about a third of the fat you eat. It works by blocking the enzyme that breaks down fat so that fat passes out of your body as stools. Orlistat works if it is used with meals that contain fat.
Where can I find more information about Orlistat?

What is Foundayo®?
Foundayo® (orforglipron) is a once-daily prescription weight loss tablet developed by Eli Lilly. It is the first oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist and was approved in the UK in 2026 for weight management. It helps reduce appetite and helps you feel fuller for longer, supporting weight loss alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

What are the potential side effects of Foundayo®?
As with other GLP-1 medicines, the most common side effects are digestive — nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhoea — particularly when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild to moderate and tend to settle over time. Our pharmacist will discuss possible side effects with you.
How should you take Foundayo®?
Foundayo® is taken as one tablet once a day. It can be taken at any time of day, with or without food and water. Your dose will be increased gradually according to your treatment plan.
How is Foundayo® different from injectable weight loss treatments?

How does Foundayo® work?
Orforglipron mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite. By activating GLP-1 receptors it reduces hunger and helps you feel full sooner, supporting meaningful weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
