Who Can Take Orlistat and How Much You'll Save
Eligibility Assessment for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults aged 18 or over 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. However, individual suitability depends on your medical history and current health status, which is why a clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber is required before any prescription can be issued.

Who Cannot Take Orlistat
Certain people should not use orlistat, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18 years old, or have conditions such as chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis. If you're taking medications like ciclosporin, warfarin, or thyroid medication, special consideration is needed. Your prescriber will review your full medical history to ensure orlistat is safe and appropriate for you before issuing any prescription.
How to Order with Your Discount
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire, which takes just a few minutes. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if suitable, issues your prescription. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next-day delivery. Simply enter code EDM10 at checkout to apply your 10% discount. The code works for all pack sizes across orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, and Alli 60mg.
Comparing Your Treatment Options
All three products work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients - the main difference is price, with generic orlistat offering significant savings. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative. With EDM10, you save on whichever option your prescriber recommends: 12-week supplies range from £86.39 (orlistat) to £116.09 (Xenical) to £116.99 (Alli) after discount.
