Ms. Waleeja Naeem · Answer

any kind of medication for weight loss is not recommended.
try portion control for weight loss.
orlistat has side effects on the gut and liver.

Qurat Ul Ain Khalil · Answer

don't use supplements without doctor prescription specially when you are breastfeeding your baby.
why you want to use orlistat when you can lose your weight through diet.
kindly mention your height and weight

Dr. Syeda Mahvish Zahra · Answer

Tell your blood-type and get info how you can beat the weight and achieve goal fastly

Angela Marie Sadiqua · Answer

Do not use any medication while breastfeeding without speaking to your doctor.  Second, orlistat does have side effects, and will not magically make you lose weight.  If it did, every overweight person would be using it, and no one would have a weight problem.  You need to learn how to adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle for the benefit of yourself and your child. Work with a nutritionist to find a balance that will work for you.  amsadiqua@gmail.com

Barira Saad · Answer

I wouldn't recommend it right now, start with moderate brisk walk and a well balanced diet and find postnatal exercises on youtube

Dr. Ms Sana Iqbal · Answer

Orlistat is a globally recommended and FDA authorized drug for weight loss. Chances of its absorption into milk are the least. However, it reduces the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and thus can lower the quality of breast-milk. Therefore avoid during the first 6 months of breastfeeding. It is better to follow a balanced and individualized diet plan.

Andleeb Shakoor · Answer

Because orlistat is poorly absorbed orally, it is unlikely that any orlistat is excreted into milk or absorbed by the infant. Therefore, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. Instead of medications proper diet plan is important.
