Why Choose Orlistat Over Ozempic for Weight Management?
Ozempic vs Orlistat: Key Differences
When comparing Ozempic vs orlistat for weight management, the mechanisms are fundamentally different. Ozempic (semaglutide) is an injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist that affects appetite regulation, whilst orlistat works locally in the gut by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Orlistat 120mg capsules require no injections and work alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to support weight management in adults with a BMI of 28-30 or above.

Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in the digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary fat. Unlike Ozempic's appetite suppression mechanism, orlistat's effect is directly related to the fat content of meals, making it essential to follow a lower-fat diet to minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximise effectiveness.
