Expert Guidance from Leicester's Trusted Online Pharmacy

Reviewed by Mostafa Damghani · 03/07/2026

Is Hair Loss a Side Effect of Orlistat?

Hair loss is not listed among the common or very common side effects of orlistat 120mg, Xenical, or Alli 60mg in official UK prescribing information. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds ensures you receive accurate information about all orlistat side effects. The most frequently reported side effects are gastrointestinal, including oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These occur because orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut.

Why Choose EverydayMeds for Orlistat Treatment?

EverydayMeds is a fully regulated UK online pharmacy based in Leicester, registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and operating under MHRA oversight. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough clinical assessments before prescribing orlistat, ensuring treatment suitability and safety. We stock genuine orlistat 120mg from £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg from £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10), and Alli 60mg from £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). All medications are sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains.

Complete Range of Orlistat Products Available

Our comprehensive orlistat range includes 2-week, 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week supplies. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value - a 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs just £29.69 with code EDM10. For patients preferring branded medication, Xenical 120mg provides identical clinical benefits at £38.69 for 4 weeks with discount. Alli 60mg at half strength offers a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment. Every order includes next-day tracked delivery across the UK in discreet packaging.

Professional Clinical Assessment Process

Following online consultation, our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. This clinical assessment ensures orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances and identifies any potential contraindications. We discuss all possible side effects, including rare occurrences, providing comprehensive safety information. Treatment is only prescribed where clinically appropriate, maintaining the same professional standards as traditional high street pharmacies.

Ongoing Support and Monitoring

EverydayMeds provides continued support throughout your orlistat treatment. Our pharmacy team can advise on managing common side effects, proper dosing schedules, and dietary recommendations to optimise treatment outcomes. If you experience any unusual symptoms, including changes to hair or scalp, our clinical team can provide guidance or recommend consulting your GP. We maintain detailed records of all consultations and prescriptions for continuity of care.
