Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Options Available
Orlistat and Pregnancy: Important Safety Information
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical cannot be taken during pregnancy or when planning to become pregnant. This prescription weight loss medication is contraindicated for expectant mothers and breastfeeding women. If you become pregnant whilst taking orlistat, you must stop treatment immediately and consult your healthcare provider.
Post-Pregnancy Weight Management Options
For adults who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, prescription orlistat may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Our online service provides access to three clinically-proven options following assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Orlistat 120mg - Generic Prescription Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective prescription weight loss treatment. Starting from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules), or £15.20 with EDM10 discount code. Our 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with EDM10 - saving you over £9. This prescription medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with each main meal.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Xenical contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat at identical strength. This branded option from Roche starts at £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded version, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work through the same fat-blocking mechanism.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10), this lower-strength option may suit those preferring a gentler starting point. The 12-week supply costs £129.99, or £116.99 with our discount code.
