Why Choose EverydayMeds for Your Orlistat Treatment?
Is Orlistat Any Good? The Clinical Evidence
Orlistat has been clinically proven to support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. This prescription medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially helping reduce your overall calorie intake from dietary fat sources.
Individual responses vary, but orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each application individually to determine suitability.

Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Choose?
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings while delivering the same fat-blocking mechanism.
With EDM10 discount: 4-week generic orlistat costs £29.69 compared to £38.69 for Xenical - a £9 monthly saving. Over a 12-week treatment period, choosing generic saves you nearly £30 (£86.39 vs £116.09). Both require the same online clinical assessment and prescription approval.

What to Expect from Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat works best when combined with meals containing no more than approximately 15g of fat per meal. Higher fat intake increases the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These effects are your body's response to unabsorbed fat and typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet.
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Most patients find the medication more tolerable after the first few weeks of treatment as dietary habits adjust.
