No stock of orlistat !!!!

@ short me! I don't think it's available here yet, I had to ask my mom to go to WalMart in America and send me some. The only side effects are sometimes I can't get away from the bathroom but I have lost 2 1/2 pounds in 9 days. Hopefully they will get them here soon because shipping from America ain't cheap. I have another 30 day supply coming but they have not come in yet. I just wish I could get my scrip filled.

Thanks @ fender_gurl and toady. I have just bought some from amazon and paying the shipping from america- i hope they are real and they don't take too long- they are VERY expensive but i really don't want to go without and with only 15 left i can only hope they take less than a month to arrive. i just wish GSK would release a statement about when they might be back on the shelves : (

Hi All,

Hope you are all well.

Have you all managed to get some orlistat now.

Im 5 days in on my first box and so far havnt had any bad side effects, just had one lot of sickness one morning after I had alcohol the night before and have had a few minor stomach cramps but nothing 2 bad.

Does anyone who has been on them before when weight loss usually starts. I havnt weighed myself yet as I am going to see my dietition on Monday and he will do that. I am just aware that you have to lose so much in the first 3 months or they may take you off of the tablets...or so it says in my orlistat leaflet lol.

that was meant to say does ayone who has been on them before know when weight loss usually starts lol?

Chantelle ive messaged u onn here

No I still havent been able to get any here in Essex... I took them two years ago and started losing weight the first week ..I lost two stone in the first 8 weeks then it stopped ..nothing the next two months and my GP stopped them.. but I now understand that can happen and usually it will start to come off again.. My GP this time around has said taht I can take them for up to a year ..

I havent put any weight on the last few months waiting for the Orlistat but I havent lost any either.

Also for the moderator I have stopped receiving emails when there are any new posts to this thread.. I checked my profile and I should still get them. ?

It is so annoying that after getting a prescription for orlistat I still cannot get it!?!?1 I have to check with my pharmacy ever week.

Hi jackx check your messages as I have PM you.

hi all i was at my wee chemist on sat morning and asked if they had it in yet as they have my script since beginning of feb.they did get it in but not enough to go round everybody but said they were getting it back in this week x

Hi Fender_Gurl Iv Messaged you back. Thanks for info

Hi All

If you phone the Roche customer care phone number there is an option to hear the latest on orlistat availability. I phoned this morning and they said they hoped (but couldn't guarantee) that stocks of orlistat would be back by the end of september (they should know a more accurate date by the end of august) - even then once it's in the warehouses there will be so much owing to community pharmacies it will take a little time to settle down. The phone number is 0800 7315711 and it's option 3 on the ansaphone.

hope this helps!

YES !

I have just received my packet of Orlistat ..had prescription since May ..the pharmacy I left mine at said that get some in from time to time through sheer persistence :D

Hi,

just want a little advice i started my tablets on tuesday and have already lost weight so am doing ok. My question is about how much fat we can have a day i know it says 30% but as my doc hasnt given me a set amount of calories i am unsure what i can have . I have today had about 40g some posts say 45g max some say 30g. Also if i havent had the allowance could i have something light for supper staying in the fat allowance i am making these life changes so want it to be within the limits and sustainable even when im not on the tabs.

Any help would be great i need this to work.
