Patient summary
Orlistat 60mg and 120mg hard capsules, used in the management of obesity and overweight. A lipase inhibitor acting in the gut, not on the brain.
Mechanism of action
This medicine acts as a peripheral lipase inhibitor, preventing the body from breaking down and absorbing fats from the diet, which are then eliminated through bowel movements.
Xenical contains orlistat, a lipase inhibitor supplied as a tablet in 60 mg and 120 mg strengths. It is used in the management of obesity and overweight. Cheplapharm is the originator company, and Alli is another name for this medicine.
Orlistat works in the gut as a peripheral lipase inhibitor. It stops dietary fat from being broken down and absorbed, so that fat leaves the body in the stools. Treatment is not suitable for people with chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A multivitamin with fat-soluble vitamins helps maintain adequate nutrition. Ciclosporin, levothyroxine, amiodarone and warfarin are known interactions; when ciclosporin is taken with orlistat, it should be given 3 hours afterwards. Cholelithiasis, pancreatitis and hepatitis are serious side effects that require immediate medical attention.
