Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your gut. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down fat, meaning roughly one third of the fat you eat passes through your body undigested. This isn't guesswork - it's a targeted approach that reduces calorie intake from dietary fat as part of your weight management plan.
When To Take Xenical Tablets For Maximum Effect
Take one orlistat 120mg or Xenical capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. The timing is crucial - take your capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. This precise timing ensures the medication works when dietary fat is present in your digestive system.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Mechanism, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. At EverydayMeds, orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4 weeks), while Xenical costs £42.99 for the same supply. With code EDM10, you save 10% on either option. The clinical effect is identical - the choice comes down to budget preference.
Why The Mechanism Proves It Works
Unlike appetite suppressants that work in your brain, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system. This targeted approach means you're physically preventing approximately one third of dietary fat calories from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, providing measurable calorie reduction when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular exercise.
