I was wondering if the sudden appearance of horrible bruising on parts of my body that haven't or couldn't get bumped; under my arm, top of my leg is due to my over weight. I always have a new bruise. Any ideas?
I have lost half a stone since starting ORLISTAT.

are you on warferine tablets as they can caurse bruising I know from experience as I take them and get bruises all over my body they are for thinning your blood
Have you read the leaflet that comes in the box with the medication? It will list the side effects and you can decide what to do. If you can't get to see your doctor, a pharmacist will be able to advise.
Definitely see your GP as there could be many reasons. Like Jacqui1957, I'm also on Warfarin which has this side effect. The problem I have is that the GP never believes me when I say I haven't knocked or bumped myself!!! X.
