Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that contains the active ingredient of the same name. It works by blocking the enzymes responsible for absorbing the fat you eat and instead removes it from your body as stool waste.

Orlistat is available in the form of an oral pill. When taken alongside a healthy calorie-controlled diet, it is an effective weight loss medication. Research has found that orlistat can help 37% of people lose 5% of their body weight after 12 weeks of treatment.

If you think orlistat is a suitable weight loss solution for you, our doctors can help. All you need to do is simply complete a short online questionnaire for our doctors to review to make sure orlistat is right for you. If your treatment request is approved, we’ll get it to you quickly via our rapid and discreet delivery service. Alternatively, your treatment can also be collected from your nearest Superdrug Pharmacy in as little as 2 to 3 hours after a doctor approval.
