Orlistat works by preventing around a third of the fat from the food you eat being absorbed. The undigested fat is not absorbed into your body and is passed out with your poo. This will help you avoid gaining weight, and may help you to lose weight. All primary and secondary outcome measures are reported in Table ​ Table1. 1. Compared to the placebo binder, the abdominal binder was associated with an increase of third minute tilt mean BP by 10 (±10.2 mm Hg; +3.5, +16.5; P = 0.006 for primary outcome measure). Moreover, there was an increase of third minute diastolic ( P = 0.027) and systolic ( P = 0.005) tilt BP with the abdominal binder compared to the placebo binder. No significant change of supine mean BP was observed with the abdominal binder compared to placebo; the difference was +4.8 mm Hg (±15.3; −4.9, +14.5; P = 0.3). A trend toward increase of mean BP at third minute standing was observed with the abdominal binder versus placebo ( P = 0.054; n = 10). Frequencies of OH in Parkinson's disease (PD) range from 14% in early stages to 52% in more advanced or older patients. 2 OH significantly affects quality of life in PD and can be accompanied by supine hypertension in one‐third of cases. Pharmacological treatment of OH relies either on vasopressor agents (e.g., direct/indirect α 1‐adrenoreceptor agonists) or on drugs expanding intravascular volume (e.g., fludrocortisone), but exacerbation of supine hypertension is a common side effect. Furthermore, with the exception of droxidopa (an indirect α 1‐adrenoreceptor agonist, which recently showed short‐term efficacy on OH over 1 week in PD 3, 4), currently available evidence is insufficient to conclude on safety and efficacy of the above‐mentioned drugs in the setting of PD, thus classifying their use as investigational according to a recent evidence‐based medicine review. 5 Huang GJ, et al.

If you have not lost weight after taking orlistat for 3 months, it's unlikely to be an effective treatment for you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist, as you may need to stop your treatment. Orlistat and other health conditions

You can only use orlistat if a doctor or pharmacist thinks it's the right medicine for you. Orlistat is available on prescription from your doctor, or you can buy it at a lower dose from a pharmacy. Products available directly from pharmacies are Alli and Orlos, which must be taken under the supervision of a pharmacist. Treatment with orlistat should only continue beyond 3 months if you've lost 5% of your body weight. It usually starts to affect how you digest fat within 1 to 2 days.
