Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Orlistat Works for Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. This lipase inhibitor acts locally in your digestive system, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Results, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, delivering equivalent clinical effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst maintaining the same weight management support. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 for orlistat compared to £38.69 for Xenical (both with EDM10 discount). For budget-conscious patients seeking the same results, generic orlistat provides excellent value.
Complete Range Available
We stock comprehensive pack sizes to suit different treatment durations. Orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for 42 capsules (2-week supply) up to £86.39 for 252 capsules (12-week supply) with EDM10 discount. Branded Xenical ranges from £19.35 to £116.09, whilst Alli 60mg (lower-strength option) costs £26.09 to £116.99. All prices include 10% discount with code EDM10 for new and returning customers.
Professional Online Prescription Service
Getting orlistat prescription online is straightforward through our regulated service. Complete our clinical questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Maximising Your Results
For best results with orlistat, maintain a reduced-calorie diet with no more than 30% calories from fat (approximately 15g fat per meal). This approach not only supports weight management but significantly reduces the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose.
Who May Be Suitable
Orlistat may be suitable for adults aged 18 or over with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers who consider your complete medical profile before prescribing.
