Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of taking Lipocut capsules for the last 2 days, one in the morning after breakfast and another before evening meals, now there is oily discharge from anus, feeling very uncomfortable..
Since Lipocut contains Orlistat, it does not allow the fat to be digested and absorbed from the intestine; hence all the fat that could not be absorbed will be discharged per anus in the stool.
So do not worry, this is normal to be seen in most of the patients taking Orlistat or Lipocut.
Continue to take Orlistat and reduce the fat contents in food to avoid this problem.
