Can I Get Orlistat Without Visiting The Doctor?

What is Orlistat?

 

Xenical (orlistat) is the only prescription weight loss medication available in the UK. This is a (usually blue coloured) hard capsule containing 120mg of the drug Orlistat. Xenical is a brand name for generic Orlistat 120mg. Xenical (pronounced zenical) and is manufactured by Roche Pharmaceuticals and contains the active ingredient Orlistat 120mg.

 

Pharmaceutically there is no difference between generic Orlistat and Xenical although Orlistat is generally available at a lower price. The other version is Alli which you may have seen advertised or on the shelf behind the chemist counter-however this “Pharmacy only” version is 60 mg and can be bought after having a consultation with the Pharmacist, therefore, a GP does not need to be involved in the process.

 

How does Orlistat work?

 

So the geeky material from the manufacturer’s states “ Orlistat is a potent, specific and long-acting inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases. It exerts its therapeutic activity in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine by forming a covalent bond with the active serine site of the gastric and pancreatic lipases.

 

The inactivated enzyme is thus unavailable to hydrolyse dietary fat, in the form of triglycerides, into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides…” What this essentially means is that this drug stops gastric enzymes from breaking down dietary fat which is then usually absorbed into the body.

 

How should Orlistat be taken?

 

The recommended treatment dose is one 120 mg capsule to be taken three times daily. No more than three Xenical Orlistat 120 mg Capsules should be taken in any 24 hour period. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose should be omitted.

 

Diet and exercise are both important components of a weight loss programme. It is recommended that a diet and exercise programme is started prior to beginning treatment with Orlistat.

 

While taking Orlistat, the patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, mildly hypocaloric diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat (e.g. in a 2,000 kcal/day diet, this equates to <67 g of fat). The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three main meals.
