Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat Actually Works in Your Body
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system - the enzymes responsible for breaking 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, reducing the calories absorbed from fatty foods. Unlike Mysimba which acts on neurotransmitters in the brain, orlistat works purely in your gut without affecting your central nervous system.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Same Mechanism
Both generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, meaning they work through exactly the same mechanism. The clinical effect is identical - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. At EverydayMeds, generic orlistat costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings without compromising on effectiveness.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
The fat-blocking mechanism provides clear evidence that orlistat is working. When you eat a meal containing fat whilst taking orlistat, you may experience oily stools or spotting - this is the unabsorbed fat leaving your body naturally. These effects confirm the medication is actively blocking fat absorption as intended. The mechanism is dose-dependent: prescription-strength 120mg orlistat and Xenical provide maximum fat-blocking effect, whilst Alli 60mg provides a gentler approach.
Comparing Orlistat to Mysimba's Different Approach
Whilst orlistat works in your digestive system to block fat absorption, Mysimba (naltrexone-bupropion) works on brain chemistry to reduce food cravings and appetite. Orlistat's gut-based mechanism means side effects are primarily gastrointestinal and manageable through diet modification. The fat-blocking action provides immediate, measurable results you can see, unlike brain-based appetite suppressants where effects may be more subtle.
Maximising Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism
To optimise orlistat's mechanism, spread your daily fat intake across three main meals with no more than 15g fat per meal. This approach minimises side effects whilst maintaining the fat-blocking benefit. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat - if a meal contains no fat, you can skip that dose. The 8-week supply (168 capsules) at £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) provides excellent value for sustained fat-blocking support.
