Orlistat is used to treat obesity and help in weight loss. Orlistat is to be used along with a low-calorie diet and regular physical exercise. Obesity is a common condition associated with excessive body fat, which in turn increases the risk of other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and heart disease. Intake of more calories than you burn by exercise or daily activities results in obesity.
Orlistat contains Orlistat, which works in the small intestine and stomach and prevents the action of enzymes that break down fat, which is absorbed by the body. Orlistat decreases the absorption of fat from the food you eat. Thus, fat passes through the gut and is excreted in the faeces, which makes the body unable to use fat as a source of energy or convert it into fat tissue. Thereby, Orlistat helps in weight loss.
Take Orlistat as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Orlistat for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience soft stools, sudden bowel motions, flatulence (gas) with or without oily spotting, oily or fatty stools, stomach pain, stool incontinence (involuntary leakage of stools), and runny or liquid stools. Most of these side effects of Orlistat do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Orlistat or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking Orlistat if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, as it may cause fetal harm. It is not known whether Orlistat is excreted in human milk. Therefore, please consult a doctor if you are a breastfeeding woman. Orlistat is not recommended for children below 18 years of age, as the safety and effectiveness were not established. You are advised to take a multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K at bedtime as Orlistat may reduce the absorption of certain vitamins in the body.

I would like to see a prescription for xenical (orlistat) from our pharmacist. My local GP has prescribed it on the off chance that it is safe for me.
I have heard that the NHS is looking for ways to help people lose weight if they are overweight.
The local pharmacist who has prescribed the medication to me is also helping us to lose weight. She has been working hard on a prescription that is now available.
I am not aware of any local pharmacy that has this prescription available to them. What do I do?
There are a few things that we can do to help people lose weight, and some have been suggested by local pharmacy staff. One is to ask a pharmacist for a referral to a GP. We have seen some that we may be able to help someone lose weight by asking the pharmacist if it is safe to use the medication for them, or by asking them if they have lost weight using the medication.
This is an option I have seen many times. In particular I have seen the local pharmacist come to me and ask for advice on getting the prescription from the pharmacist. It is not a referral, it is a prescription. I have found a local pharmacist to be a very helpful and helpful person. I will tell her what the prescription is, what to ask her for, and she can ask me questions that I need to know.
She has put in a phone call to me. She will call back and have the prescription delivered. I have asked her to give me a few minutes to see if the medication is safe for me to take. She has a few minutes to answer my questions, but I have not had a pharmacist to answer questions that I have.
She will ask me to come up with a plan. I will give her some of her own suggestions, and I will ask for a referral from her. I have not been able to find any local pharmacist that can be contacted, and I am not sure where she has come from. I have been told that she is trained to be a good pharmacist and that her staff are very understanding and helpful. I will tell her my plan to take and what to ask her, but I do not know where she has come from. I will come up with my plan for her.
