How Orlistat 120mg Works in Your Body
Orlistat 120mg works through a targeted mechanism that acts directly in your digestive system. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat in your gut. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you consume cannot be digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system and is eliminated.
Unlike appetite suppressants that affect your brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive tract and is not significantly absorbed into your bloodstream. This targeted action explains why the medication is specifically effective for fat absorption rather than affecting other nutrients like carbohydrates or protein.
Why "Approximately One Third" Matters for Your Results
It's important to understand that orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat - not all fat consumed. This means that while the medication provides significant support for weight management, it works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The remaining two thirds of fat is still processed normally by your body.
This mechanism explains why keeping fat intake low per meal (approximately 15g) helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medication's effectiveness. Order orlistat 120mg from £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10).
Comparing Your Treatment Options
Understanding how orlistat works helps explain why we offer three effective options. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the same fat-blocking mechanism as branded Xenical 120mg at a lower cost - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli 60mg offers the same mechanism but at half the dose, making it a lower-strength alternative.
For maximum value, choose generic orlistat 120mg from £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with EDM10). Those preferring the branded option can select Xenical 120mg from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10). All options require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
