the pain. Another way that you could deal with a headache is by using a hot<br />

compress or heating pad to lessen the pain.<br />

Abdominal pain/discom<strong>for</strong>t- Abdominal pain should not worry you. In case it is<br />

affecting your daily activities you may opt to place a heated wheat bag or a hot<br />

water bottle on your abdomen. Also, you could soak yourself in a warm bath. If<br />

this doesn’t seem to work, try drinking clear fluids, e.g., water.<br />

Increased need to visit the loo- If you find yourself defecating more than you<br />

usually do, ensure that you do not ignore the urge to do so. Ignoring the call<br />

will only worsen the symptoms. It should not cause alarm but if it persists, seek<br />

the attention of a doctor.<br />

Oily discharge- Once you are on <strong>Orlistat</strong> treatment, you may notice that you are<br />

staining your undergarments or having a feeling that the area around your anus<br />

is damp. To prevent getting embarrassed, you could wear dark pants and carry<br />

an extra pair of clothes when out of the house.<br />

instead eliminated it. By avoiding foods that are very fatty, you can prevent<br />

your body from excreting the much fat.<br />

<br />

here are ideas to ward it off. The first is cleaning your skin with a mild soap<br />

without scrubbing it. Scrubbing and using scratchy materials may do more<br />

harm than good. If you feel any itch or pain, you could place a wet cloth on the<br />

rash. An over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream would also help you.<br />
