What Causes Loss Of Appetite While On Orlistat?
I have recently started taking Dytor plus 20 for the swelling treatment of my legs and within two weeks swelling has reduced substantially. In the meantime I have started taking Orlistat 120 twice a day for the treatment of my obesity. Since last few days I have started feeling loss of my appetite which is bothering me too much. Is this side effect temporary or lasts for a long time? Should I discontinue taking these medicines or continue to bear with my loss of appetite problem.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Loos of apettite is a temporary side effect of Orlistat.
It will probably lessen as you continue treatment with orlistat.
I suggest you to continue the medication.
