Orlistat is a medication that aids weight loss by blocking fat absorption. It is prescribed by licensed providers after evaluation, available online through Klarity for quick, convenient access.
Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor that helps obese and overweight individuals lose weight by preventing dietary fat from being absorbed in the digestive tract. When combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, it enhances weight loss results.
This medication is prescribed by licensed healthcare providers such as MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs who can evaluate your health status and determine if Orlistat is appropriate for you.
Orlistat works by blocking pancreatic lipase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary fats. As a result, about 30% of consumed fat is not absorbed and is excreted. This reduction in fat absorption supports weight loss and improves obesity-related health risks.
It typically starts working within a few days of use, with results visible over weeks to months, especially when paired with lifestyle changes.
Only licensed healthcare providers such as medical doctors (MDs), doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs) authorized to prescribe medications can prescribe Orlistat. They assess your health, determine suitability, and monitor side effects.
Through Klarity, you can connect with qualified providers who can evaluate your condition and prescribe Orlistat online after a virtual consultation.
