What will happen if you don't eat but still take your orlistat pills?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not recommended: Orlistat is to be taken at or before meals as an aid to block some fat absorption. If you're not eating, the mechanism of action for orlistat will not occur. No sense in taking it. You need to eat!
