    I have been taking orlistat for 6 weeks now and I have lost just over 1.5 stone are you drinking plenty of water and eating lots of fruit and veg ? buy yourself a fit bit and download the fitness pall and sync the two together you log every meal and it works out the calories and fat content I always try to stay under 10g of fat per meal .

    Also never had any problems with any rashes either

    I suppose you may have to either take less of the medication, lower the dosage, or change type of medication.
