Check Your BMI Eligibility for Orlistat Treatment
BMI Requirements for Orlistat Prescription
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above (obesity), or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Your individual suitability is determined through clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, who review your BMI alongside your overall health profile during the online consultation process.
Orlistat Treatment Options and Pricing
Choose between cost-effective generic orlistat 120mg or branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £49.49 for 8 weeks with code EDM10. All treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Online Prescription Process
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire including your height, weight, and medical history. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your BMI and health information to determine if orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The prescription consultation is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme. Treatment works best when combined with a healthy, lower-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal) and regular physical activity. Individual responses vary, and long-term weight management depends on continued lifestyle changes alongside treatment.
