Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Weight Loss Support
Alli 60mg capsules contain orlistat at half the strength of prescription-only versions, designed to support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Each capsule works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Available at EverydayMeds from £28.99 for a 4-week supply (42 capsules) or £26.09 with code EDM10. For extended treatment, our 12-week supply costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Clinical Strength Option
For those seeking prescription-strength treatment, orlistat 120mg offers double the dose of Alli. Following an online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, orlistat 120mg may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions. Priced competitively at £32.99 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) or £29.69 with EDM10. Our 12-week supply provides excellent value at £95.99 (£86.39 with code EDM10).
Xenical 120mg - Branded Prescription Treatment
Xenical contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat but is manufactured by Roche. Some patients prefer the branded option, available from £42.99 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) or £38.69 with EDM10. Both generic orlistat and Xenical require an online clinical assessment and prescription approval. The 12-week Xenical supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with code EDM10).
How Weight Loss Medication Works
All orlistat-based medications work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This mechanism can support weight management when combined with a structured diet and exercise programme. The medication acts locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain or central nervous system.
Online Prescription Process
For prescription-strength orlistat or Xenical, complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines suitability. If approved, medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with tracking for next day delivery across the UK.
Maximising Treatment Success
Keep meals to approximately 15g fat content to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maintaining the medication's effectiveness. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. Consider taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern.
