“Only use this product if you are eating healthy and exercising as this just gives you a help. I have lost a lot of weight without the product and this is just a kick start as I was at a plateau”
“To be honest I expected better results,I have had 3 different named capsules,all saying they are orlistat,I am on a calorie controlled diet ,so expected better results,”
Hi Graham,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us; I am sorry to hear that this treatment has not been as effective as expected.
Our clinical team has advised that the objective of Orlistat is to help reprogram your body and your behaviours to be able to maintain lifestyle changes; these include a varied low-fat diet (with portion control) and regular physical activity.
The expected weight loss is about 10% of your overall weight over 6 months; when this treatment is combined with a weight-reducing diet and exercise.
Orlistat only prevents some of the fat that you eat from being absorbed, just under a third; this treatment has no effect on other calorie sources such as carbohydrates, sugars, and alcohol
It is important to distinguish between the treatment working effectively and a common side-effect; the absence of a side effect does not equate to a medication error.
Most side effects of Orlistat are temporary and can be reduced by measuring how much fat you consume, in each meal (aim to consume no more than 1-15 grams of fat per meal).
We have reached out to you directly to provide further assistance.
We look forward to hearing from you.
“Really works and helps with eating more healthy I feel less bloated and noticing a difference in my waist within a few weeks. Had some wonderful helpful tips from this pharmacy and they reply very quickly to emails.”
“They do what they say. If u eat too much fat you will have an issue with very loose bowls.
If u maintain a good diet they would only be required when u eat too much fat so do they work if your eating healthy, I wouldn't think so it will be your diet working but if u are not being overly good they will assist. Not a miracle cure so don't think they are”
