When I was a teenager, my mother’s father went to work at a warehouse shop. When he got the chance, I was impressed. We were there for a while and there were a few times when I was at a conference. Then one day my mom was at work and she had a problem with her stomach. We were on a shopping spree. I was at the door and she was looking for a way to get in. I wanted to buy a medicine and that was what she wanted. I told her I was allergic to orlistat and she was like, “No. I’m allergic to orlistat. I’m allergic to orlistat.”
It was the first time I had heard of a medication for an oily condition. I had been trying for two weeks to get the prescription filled and I had to get my doctor to write a prescription for it. I was given the medicine and it was like I was back to where I was. I had just come in from taking a few days and I was like, “My stomach is going to be going to hell!” I told the pharmacist. I had to stop taking the medicine and my stomach went from being full to empty. I said, “You have to go to the ER if you want to get your prescription filled.”
She was saying, “My stomach is going to be full.” I said, “My stomach is going to be full.” She said, “My stomach is not going to be full. I don’t have to come in and sit in the waiting room.”
Then I had to go to the ER, and I had to get the medication. The pharmacist said, “You have to go to the ER with the medication.” I said, “My stomach is going to be full.” She said, “My stomach is going to be full.” I said, “My stomach is not going to be full. I don’t have to go to the ER.”
The second time I was at a conference, I saw a doctor. She said, “You’ve got to take orlistat.” And she said, “No. I have to take orlistat.” I said, “No. I have to take orlistat.”
Then, when I told the pharmacist, “My stomach is going to be full,” I was like, “My stomach is not going to be full.” I said, “My stomach is going to be full.”
After a while, she told me, “Your stomach is not going to be full.” She said, “My stomach is going to be full.” I said, “My stomach is not going to be full.”
I had my stomach to the hospital. I had to go to a ER. I had to have my medication taken. I had to go home. I was like, “My stomach is going to be full.”
I had to stop taking orlistat. I had to stop taking the medication and my stomach went from being full to empty. I had to go to the ER.
I was taking orlistat at the same time. I was on the same dose and I was getting a headache. I was in the ER for the first two days. Then my stomach went back to normal. I was in a hospital. The next day, I went home and I went to the hospital. I went to the hospital and I was like, “My stomach is going to be full.”
I was on the same medication. The next day I was taking orlistat. Then, the next day I was taking orlistat. Then the next day I was taking orlistat.

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.
