Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Weight Loss Alternatives Available
When considering alternatives to orlistat for weight loss, you may be surprised to learn that the most effective options actually contain orlistat as the active ingredient. At EverydayMeds, we offer three clinically proven prescription weight loss treatments that may help support your weight management goals alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Orlistat 120mg - Most Cost-Effective Option
Generic orlistat 120mg capsules provide the most affordable prescription weight loss treatment. Starting from just £16.89 for a 2-week supply (£15.20 with EDM10), orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Our 12-week supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with code EDM10), representing excellent value for a structured weight management programme. This prescription-only medicine requires clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers before dispensing.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Xenical contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat at the identical 120mg dose. Manufactured by Roche, this branded option may be preferred by patients seeking the original formulation. Xenical 120mg starts from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10), with our 12-week supply priced at £128.99 (£116.09 with discount code). Both generic orlistat and Xenical deliver clinically equivalent results when used as directed alongside dietary modifications.
Alli 60mg - Lower Dose Option
Alli provides a lower-strength alternative containing 60mg orlistat per capsule - half the dose of prescription-strength options. This may suit patients preferring to start with reduced potency. Available from £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10), Alli can support weight management with typically milder side effects due to the lower dose. Our 12-week Alli supply costs £129.99 (£116.99 with code EDM10).
How These Alternatives Work
All three treatments work identically by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. This mechanism may help reduce overall calorie intake from fat when combined with a structured lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Individual responses vary, and treatment works best when meals contain no more than 15g fat each.
Online Prescription Process
Accessing prescription weight loss treatment through EverydayMeds involves completing our comprehensive online health questionnaire. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information, including BMI calculations and medical history, before determining treatment suitability. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with tracked next day delivery across the UK.
