Why Choose EverydayMeds for Prescription Weight Loss?
Orlistat 120mg - Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat 120mg capsules are prescription-only weight loss medication that may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. The active ingredient orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat as part of a structured weight management programme.
Available Options and Pricing
EverydayMeds stocks both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect.

For longer treatment courses, 12-week supplies (252 capsules) cost £95.99 for generic orlistat or £128.99 for Xenical, with 10% savings available using code EDM10 on every order.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, 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. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our online clinical consultation, reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers. Not everyone will be eligible - your prescriber will determine whether orlistat is appropriate based on your medical history, current medications, and individual circumstances.
How the Online Prescription Process Works
Complete our secure online health questionnaire detailing your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines clinical suitability for orlistat treatment. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Orders are dispatched with next day delivery across the UK in discreet packaging, with your prescription included in the service cost.
Taking Orlistat Safely and Effectively
Orlistat 120mg is taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. To minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximise effectiveness, keep your daily fat intake low and spread evenly across three meals - approximately 15g fat per meal. Most side effects are related to dietary fat intake and can be significantly reduced by following a lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin is recommended, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose.
