How Orlistat Works - Online Prescription Process
How Does Xenical Orlistat Work?
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that break down dietary fat. This blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, helping reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain.
Online Prescription Process - Simple 3 Steps
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. First, complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Next, a UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and assesses whether orlistat 120mg or Xenical is clinically appropriate for you. Finally, once approved, we dispense your medication from our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatch with next-day delivery.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Choose Your Option
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses with the same clinical effects. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings of approximately £9 monthly. Your prescriber will confirm which option suits your needs following clinical assessment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly if you consume high-fat meals. These effects - including oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort - indicate the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. Keeping each meal to approximately 15g fat significantly reduces side effects whilst maximising orlistat's weight management support.
