A pill that reduces fat absorption by up to 33%

O-stat is a medicine that helps with weight loss. Its active ingredient (orlistat) prevents your body from absorbing all the fat in your food, meaning some of it passes through your stools instead.
Thinking about weight loss treatment? Talk to one of our doctors. They can help you with all the information you need to begin your journey. You can order O-stat online and our licensed pharmacy partners will make sure you get it delivered to you within 1-2 working days.
O-stat is a weight loss tablet that is usually prescribed to be taken along with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise regimen. When you take it with your meal, the pill stops all the fat in it from being digested, with that excess fat leaving your body when you excrete.
O-stat comes in two doses of 60mg and 120mg. Your doctor will prescribe the medicine to you after a thorough medical assessment and a chat with you about your lifestyle habits.
O-stat is a medication that helps you lose weight by stopping your body from absorbing too much fat from the food you eat. It works by blocking an enzyme called lipase that breaks down fat in the body. This means that when you take O-stat, your body cannot absorb as much fat from your food as it normally would. Instead, the undigested fat passes through your body and is eliminated when you go to the bathroom.
It is important to note that O-Stat can only remove fat that you consume and not the fat that is already absorbed and exists in your body.
Only those with a BMI of at least 30 (or 28 if you also have other risk factors like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes) should use weight loss treatments like O-Stat. O-Stat comes as a tablet, so if you don’t want to use an injection treatment for weight reduction, it can be the appropriate choice for you.
O-Stat's suitability for you may also depend on your susceptibility to certain side effects, if you have a specific medical condition, and whether you are taking any other medications that might interact with O-Stat. During your consultation with us, our doctors will take all of these factors into account before determining whether it's a secure and suitable course of treatment for you.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

Whenever you eat one of your three main meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—take one capsule. You can take it up to an hour before, during, or after a meal. With water, swallow the pill whole.
You don't need to take O-Stat if you skip a main meal or have a meal without any fat, because it only works when you eat dietary fat.
O-Stat should be taken in conjunction with a healthy, calorie-restricted diet that is high in fruits and vegetables, has an average of 30% of its calories from fat sources, and is well-balanced. Spread out your daily carb, protein, and fat intake over three meals.
Avoid eating items high in fat between meals, such as chocolate, cookies, and salty snacks, to experience the greatest benefit from O-Stat.
If you forget to take a dosage, do so as soon as possible (as long as it's within an hour after your previous meal). After that, you can carry on taking it as usual. Never double the dose to make up for missing one.
Tell us if you miss many doses. Do not change your dosage without first discussing it with our doctors, and feel free to ask them any more questions.
