Why Understanding Orlistat's Mechanism Matters
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that normally break 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 naturally through your digestive system, reducing the caloric impact of fatty meals. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect your brain, orlistat acts locally in your gut and is not significantly absorbed into your bloodstream.
Three Proven Treatment Options Available
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-dose alternative at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers to ensure suitability.
Maximum Effectiveness Through Proper Use
Orlistat works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet containing approximately 15g fat per meal. Taking one capsule with each main meal containing fat maximises the fat-blocking effect whilst minimising gastrointestinal side effects. The 8-week supply (168 capsules) at £57.59 with EDM10 provides excellent value for sustained weight management support.
