How Orlistat Works - Clinical Evidence from UK Pharmacy
How Do Orlistat Capsules Work? The Science
Orlistat capsules work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from fat. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds supplies three clinically-proven options: generic orlistat 120mg (from £15.20 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (from £19.35 with EDM10), and lower-strength Alli 60mg (from £26.09 with EDM10).
Clinical Effectiveness - What UK Studies Show
Clinical trials demonstrate that orlistat capsules may support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication works locally in your gut rather than affecting your brain, making it different from appetite suppressants. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess whether orlistat is suitable based on your BMI and individual health circumstances. The prescription-only 120mg strength requires clinical assessment, whilst our qualified team ensures safe, regulated supply.
Which Orlistat Product Works Best?
All three products work through the same mechanism. Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £49.49 for 8 weeks with EDM10. Our Leicester-based pharmacy stocks all variants with next day delivery available.
