Orlistat targets the enzymes in your stomach and small intestine called gastric and pancreatic lipases. Normally, these enzymes break down fats into smaller components to be absorbed. Orlistat attaches to these enzymes and blocks them. As a result, about 25-30% of the fat you eat passes through your system undigested and is eliminated through bowel movements.

Gastrointestinal (Most Common): Oily spotting on undergarments, flatulence (gas) with discharge, urgent bowel movements, and fatty/oily stools. Nutritional: Potential deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) due to malabsorption. Occasional: Headache, anxiety, or abdominal pain.
