Order Orlistat Safely with Your Metformin
Taking Orlistat and Metformin Together Safely
Many patients successfully take orlistat and metformin together under medical supervision. Metformin works by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production, while orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. These different mechanisms mean they can complement each other in supporting weight management for people with type 2 diabetes. Our UK-licensed prescribers will assess your complete medication profile during consultation to ensure safe co-prescribing.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment Option
EverydayMeds offers three orlistat options for patients taking metformin. Generic Orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option from £15.20 (4-week supply £29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect from £19.35 (4-week supply £38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg starts from £26.09 (4-week supply). All prices include 10% off with code EDM10 - available for new and returning customers.
Your Online Consultation Process
Our streamlined consultation covers your metformin use, diabetes management, and weight loss goals. You'll provide details about your current metformin dose, HbA1c levels, and any other medications. Our UK-licensed prescribers review this information alongside your BMI and medical history. Where clinically appropriate, your orlistat prescription will be issued and dispensed from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. The entire process typically takes 24 hours from consultation to delivery.
Managing Both Medications Together
Patients taking both orlistat and metformin should maintain their prescribed metformin schedule while taking orlistat with main meals containing fat. Orlistat won't interfere with metformin's glucose-lowering effects, but you may notice improved blood sugar control as weight reduces. A reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet supports both medications - helping minimise orlistat's gastrointestinal side effects while optimising metformin's benefits. Your prescriber may recommend more frequent blood sugar monitoring initially.
