orlistat works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes. You may get:
- •
- gas with oily spotting
- •
- loose stools
- •
- more frequent stools that may be hard to control
- •
- eating a low-fat diet lowers the chance of having these bowel changes
- •
- for every 5 pounds you lose from diet alone, orlistat can help you lose 2-3 pounds more. In studies, most people lost 5-10 pounds over 6 months.

- •
- you develop itching, yellow eyes or skin, dark urine or loss of appetite. There have been rare reports of liver injury in people taking orlistat.
