How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Action Drives Real Results
The Science: How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works through a precise mechanism - it inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system that normally break down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, effectively reducing the calories you absorb from meals. Unlike appetite suppressants that work in your brain, orlistat acts locally in your gut where fat digestion occurs.
Why This Mechanism Means Orlistat Works
The fat-blocking action is immediate and measurable - you'll see evidence that orlistat is working through changes in your bowel movements (a sign unabsorbed fat is being eliminated). This isn't just a placebo effect - it's a direct, observable result of the medication blocking fat absorption. Generic Orlistat 120mg costs from £15.20 (4-week supply £29.69 with EDM10), providing the same proven mechanism as branded Xenical at a lower cost.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Same Mechanism, Different Strengths
All three products work through identical fat-blocking mechanisms. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at the same strength - both block approximately one third of dietary fat. The main difference is price: generic orlistat offers significant savings, with 4-week supplies at £29.69 (EDM10) versus Xenical at £38.69 (EDM10). Alli 60mg provides the same mechanism at half strength, ideal if you prefer starting with a lower dose.
Maximising Results: Diet and Orlistat Combined
Orlistat's fat-blocking mechanism works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each minimises side effects while maximising the medication's effectiveness. High-fat meals result in more unabsorbed fat and increased gastrointestinal effects - proof the mechanism is working but uncomfortable for you. Our prescribers provide dietary guidance to help you achieve optimal results.
