No stock of orlistat !!!!

i live in a small town in devon,, still cant get hold of it :-(

Thank you plum84. I contacted quite a few local numark chemists , Couple said the did have stock but they

had used them for people wait listed. I finally found one ( small quiet area) who had one last box left, so I

got it.😌

Very happy for you AngelSai :D

There is a problem with orlistat because of potentially serious side effects

I have managed to get some from Marton pharmacy if that helps anyone. Try independant pharmacists they have a variety of suppliers.

Hi there, I've been taking oristat for about 6 months - I've lost just over 4 stone - 1 stone in the first month and then gradual after that.

I havn't been able to get any since mid march! - was informed my Gp suregery that they won't be getting any in until September!

But I have still managaed to loose another 10kilos with out the pills - just sticking to my low fat diet and moderate excersie

it can be done without pills!

Google hard to find medicines and there is a sight called that. Telephone them first and they will tell you if they can get it.

I

good luck - really make sure you stick to a low fat diet - or you will get some nasty side effects - (i hope your Gp has informed you of what will happen if you eat fatty foods)

I found they worked for me the first 5-6 months, then i hit a platue - (i've been on these pills twice - lost 6 stone, then put it all on and more! and then due to other medical problems was re-perscribed orilstat and have lost just over 4 stone but thankfully I have now changed the way I eat so am continueing to lose weight - It does take a heck of will power (I could still easily eat a whole choccy cake if left alone with one!!)

Hope you get some soon

Hi all I have been taking this for the last month I have just over 2 weeks worth of them left, I have not had my first weight in yet I have resisted the urge to weight my self every time i walk past the scales. I honestly think i have lost no weight at all i have kept to the recommended grams of fat per day and a low calorie intake no more that 15g fat per meal 3 times a day and i have 1250-1500 calories a day

I have a prescription in the chemist at the minute i has told it would be at the end of may beginning of may the likely hood of getting xenical orlistat is very slim but i was told that the uk version by TEVA UK would be in soon i e-mail this company and was told the following

Many thanks for your enquiry.

We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble acquiring Orlistat. We do have

generic Orlistat on the market, but not enough to cover the demand which has

come about since the branded version, Xenical (produced by Roche), went out of

stock. This is probably why you are having problems. We are expecting more

stock, but all we can advise is that you keep returning to your pharmacy to

check on their stock availability.

Apologies that we cannot be of more help. Please contact us if you require any

more information.

Kind regards,

sorry 2 hear u dont think u have lost anything on the orlastat wyne but am hoping when i eventually get it am hoping it works wonders

Hi all, I found some orlistat, well its real xenical but it still works as good, obviously.. my pharmacy recommended it from an online site as her friends pharmacy is in a "ukmedix" network and they managed to get some. He told me that until at least September, its only going to be available in limited stock as they get one or two from pharmacys here and there and thats if they get them as they re grow the active ingredient.?!? I still cant believe that is the reason..but she insists thats it!

Only thing is that its expensive but I needed it so badly cos I came on holiday today..!, I ordered it anyway on friday as I was that desperate but I did get it saturday so at least I have some and am finally back to routine again starting today. :-)

Good luck to all you others and please let me know when anyone else finds some..

Orlistat is wildly available - IF YOU WANT TO PAY - the problem is only with prescriptions. If you have too much money you can order it from USA, Germany, France - no problem with that.

I couldnt find it here in UK and I would never order from another country! but great for everyone that it is available at least :-)
