Choose Your Orlistat Treatment - Generic or Branded
Prescription Weight Loss Treatment UK
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Available as generic orlistat 120mg capsules or branded Xenical 120mg, this clinically studied treatment works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the digestive system. Following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, suitable adults with a BMI of 28-30+ may be prescribed orlistat to support their weight management goals.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Choose generic orlistat to save approximately £9 monthly, or select Xenical if you prefer the branded option. Both require prescription following clinical assessment.
How Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment Works
Orlistat works locally in the gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of fat consumed in meals from being absorbed into the body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the digestive system. Orlistat does not affect the brain or act as an appetite suppressant - it specifically targets fat digestion. For best results, take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.

Online Prescription Process
Getting orlistat online is straightforward through EverydayMeds. Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your submission and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your treatment is then dispensed by our qualified pharmacists and dispatched for next day delivery. This regulated process replaces the need for a face-to-face GP appointment whilst maintaining the same clinical standards.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults aged 18+ with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by qualified prescribers who consider your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Not everyone will be eligible - the prescriber will determine if orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances.
