Your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are high and you also want to lose weight. Orlistat is the medicine which is prescribed for weight loss. However in my experience it is not a very effective medicine. At best you will be able to lose around 5kg and that too will not be a sustained loss because you would regain weight once this medicine is stopped. Our body maintains its weight in a range bound fashion. It tries to keep the weight within a strict range. So whenever we lose weight, our body...more

If you have morbid obesity detrimental to your health, your doctor may prescribe such medicines like orlistat. But they have significant bad side effects. So the risk of side effects to the benefit of the medicine will be taken into consideration by your doctor and then prescribed accordingly. Best way to reduce fat is to exercise daily and follow a good diet plan.

Hi,
orlistat is used for weight loss along with an exercise and diet regimen. It is also prescribed by doctors to overweight people who may be suffering from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart patients. It is also used to stop weight gain after weight reduction.
Orlistat belongs to a class of medication called lipase inhibitors. This prevents absorption of some fat (present in our food) from the intestines. This fat is then removed from the body in stools thus redu...more

Hye. Thankyou for your query.
Usually the loss initially is mostly due to a lot of muscle loss, when you try to lose weight with medicines. As such age is a mild factor but with the medicines and the loss of weight coupled with muscle loss, the body drops the metabolism. Also muscle loss causes reduced fat burn. As we age also if you are inactive there is reduced metabolism. Sadly, these short cut supposed easy ways to lose weight are not long lasting.
