Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that are responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system naturally, effectively reducing the calories you absorb from dietary fat. This mechanism makes orlistat a clinically proven option for weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Three Proven Options Available
Understanding how orlistat works helps you choose the right option for your needs. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective choice at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient and mechanism but as the branded version costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides half the prescription dose, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. All three work through the same lipase inhibition mechanism.
Why the Mechanism Proves Effectiveness
The fact that orlistat works locally in your gut, rather than affecting your brain or central nervous system, makes it a targeted approach to weight management. You may experience gastrointestinal side effects when eating high-fat meals - this is actually evidence the medication is working by blocking fat absorption. The unabsorbed fat has to go somewhere, which is why keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) minimises side effects whilst maximising the weight management benefits.
