Uses
This medication is used with a reduced-calorie diet to help significantly
overweight persons lose weight. It also helps to prevent regaining weight
previously lost. Orlistat works by blocking some of the fat normally digested by
the intestine.
How to take
Take this drug by mouth, generally three times daily during (or up to one
hour after) each main meal that contains fat. Your daily intake of fat, protein
and carbohydrate should be evenly spread over three main meals. If a meal is
occasionally missed or contains no fat, skip that dose of the medication.
Because this drug can interfere with absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (e.g.,
A,D,E,K), a daily multivitamin supplement containing these nutrients is
recommended. Take the multivitamin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after this
drug (e.g., at bedtime). The effects of this drug may begin as soon as 1-2 days
after treatment begins; noticeable weight loss will take longer.
Side effects
Fatty/oily stool, oily spotting, intestinal gas with discharge, bowel
movement urgency, poor bowel control, or headaches may occur. If these effects
persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Intestinal side effects (e.g.,
oily stool) may increase in intensity if you exceed your daily dietary fat
allowance. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or
pharmacist.
Precaution
Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies, digestive
disorders (malabsorption or cholestasis), low thyroid function (hypothyroidism),
other metabolism problems (e.g., oxalate kidney stones, hyperoxaluria). This
drug should not be used if you have anorexia nervosa or bulimia-type eating
disorders. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this medication.
The manufacturer does not recommend use of this drug during pregnancy. It is not
known whether this drug is excreted into breast milk. Because of the potential
risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended.
Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions
Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription medication you use,
especially of: cyclosporine, "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin), drugs for
diabetes (e.g., insulin), other drugs used for weight loss. Cyclosporine should
be taken at least 2 hours before or after orlistat to assure maximum absorption
of the cyclosporine into your bloodstream. Do not start or stop any medicine
without doctor or pharmacist approval.
Storage
Store at room temperature (77 degrees F, 25 degrees C) away from light and
moisture.
