How 120mg Orlistat Supports Weight Loss
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed by your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat. The medication is most effective when meals contain no more than 15g of fat, which also helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - our generic orlistat offers significant savings compared to Xenical. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, while Xenical 4-week supply costs £38.69 with the same discount code. Some patients prefer the branded option, while others choose generic orlistat for better value without compromising on effectiveness.

Who May Be Suitable for 120mg Orlistat

Your prescriber will consider your medical history, current medications, and weight management needs before determining if orlistat is appropriate for you.
