Understanding How Orlistat Works - Start Saving Today
How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your gut, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your system. This mechanism supports weight management by reducing calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.

Compare Your Orlistat Options
All three products contain the active ingredient orlistat but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent prescription-only medicines, with generic orlistat offering significant savings. Our 12-week orlistat supply costs £86.39 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £116.09 - saving over £29 per 12-week course. Alli 60mg provides half the dose for those preferring a lower-strength option. Order online following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Maximising Results with Lower-Fat Diet
Orlistat works best when each meal contains approximately 15g fat or less, distributed evenly across three daily meals. High-fat meals increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects, as orlistat blocks roughly one third of dietary fat absorption. Following a structured lower-fat diet plan helps minimise side effects whilst supporting your weight management goals. Our prescribers provide guidance during your online consultation.
Your Ongoing Treatment Journey
Many patients benefit from longer treatment courses, making our 10% discount particularly valuable for regular reorders. Our 8-week orlistat supply at £57.59 with EDM10 provides better value than shorter courses, whilst our 12-week option at £86.39 offers maximum savings. Reorder easily through your EverydayMeds account with the same 10% discount applying automatically when using code EDM10. Track your progress with support from our UK healthcare team.
