Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Action Drives Results
How Orlistat's Proven Mechanism Supports Weight Loss
Orlistat works through a targeted mechanism in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that normally break down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed into your body and passes through naturally. This isn't guesswork - it's clinically proven science that reduces calorie intake from fat sources.
Prescription vs Non-Prescription: Getting the Right Strength
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment. At EverydayMeds, our orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4 weeks), or £29.69 with EDM10. Branded Xenical is £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with our discount code. Alli 60mg offers half the strength without prescription but blocks less dietary fat. For maximum fat-blocking effect, prescription strength delivers superior results.
Why the Mechanism Matters for Your Success
Understanding orlistat's gut-based action explains why it works so effectively alongside a lower-fat diet. Each 120mg capsule taken with meals blocks approximately one third of fat absorption for that meal. Over 12 weeks (252 capsules at £86.39 with EDM10), this consistent fat-blocking action supports meaningful weight management when combined with reduced calories and increased activity.
Getting Your Prescription Through EverydayMeds
Our online clinical assessment replaces the need for GP appointments. Complete your health questionnaire, and our UK-licensed prescribers review your suitability for orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg. If approved, we dispense and dispatch from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with next day delivery. The prescription is included in our competitive prices - no hidden costs.
Maximising Results: Diet and Orlistat Together
Orlistat's fat-blocking mechanism works best when each meal contains no more than 15g fat. This minimises gastrointestinal side effects while maximising weight management support. The unabsorbed fat passes through your system, proving the medicine is working. Combined with reduced calories, this dual approach - mechanical fat blocking plus dietary control - creates the foundation for sustained results.
