How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works

Orlistat works by targeting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so your body can absorb it. When you take orlistat, it binds to these lipase enzymes and blocks their action, preventing approximately one third of the fat you eat from being digested and absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your overall calorie intake from dietary fat.

Orlistat 120mg vs 60mg: Same Mechanism, Different Strength

Both doses work through identical fat-blocking action, but the strength differs significantly. Orlistat 120mg (available as generic orlistat or branded Xenical) provides maximum lipase inhibition, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat at full therapeutic dose. This prescription strength costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg uses the same proven mechanism at half the dose, offering a gentler introduction for £28.99 per 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). Order your preferred strength today.

Why This Mechanism Makes Orlistat Effective

Orlistat's targeted approach works because it acts locally in your gut rather than affecting your brain or metabolism. This lipase inhibition is clinically proven to support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The mechanism is so specific that it only affects dietary fat - not carbohydrates, proteins, or other nutrients. Generic orlistat 120mg provides this maximum fat-blocking action from just £16.89 for 2 weeks, while Xenical offers the same mechanism in branded form from £21.50 for 2 weeks.

Choosing Between 60mg and 120mg Based on the Science

Understanding how orlistat blocks fat absorption helps you choose the right dose. The 120mg prescription strength provides full therapeutic lipase inhibition - perfect if you want maximum fat-blocking support. Available as generic orlistat (8 weeks £63.99, save to £57.59 with EDM10) or branded Xenical (8 weeks £86.99, save to £78.29 with EDM10). Alli 60mg uses the same mechanism at half strength, ideal if you prefer starting with lower-dose lipase inhibition (8 weeks £54.99, save to £49.49 with EDM10).
