Why Choose Orlistat 120mg for Weight Management?
How Orlistat 120mg Works for Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Prices
We offer both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg. Both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose and provide the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat offers excellent value from £15.20 for 2 weeks (£29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £19.35 for 2 weeks (£38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10). Many patients choose generic orlistat for cost savings, whilst others prefer the branded option.

Important Safety Information
Orlistat 120mg should always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with no more than approximately 15g fat per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort, particularly when eating high-fat meals. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended. Always follow guidance from your healthcare professional and seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent.
