Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat 120mg Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that targets lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so your body can absorb it. When you take orlistat 120mg with meals, it inhibits approximately one third of these lipase enzymes, preventing the fat from being digested and absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing the calories you absorb from fatty foods.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
Unlike appetite suppressants that work on brain chemistry, orlistat's mechanism is direct and measurable. It acts locally in your gut where fat digestion happens, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. This isn't a temporary effect - it happens with every meal containing fat. At EverydayMeds, you can buy orlistat 120mg from £57.59 for 8 weeks (with EDM10), knowing the science supports its effectiveness when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Same Mechanism
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. The clinical effect is equivalent - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to £38.69 for Xenical (both with EDM10), offering the same proven mechanism at lower cost. Following online clinical assessment, you can choose either option.
What Happens When You Take Orlistat
When you take one orlistat 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, the medication begins working immediately in your digestive system. The blocked fat doesn't disappear - it passes through your body naturally, which explains the gastrointestinal side effects some people experience. These effects actually demonstrate the mechanism is working. To minimise side effects while maximising the fat-blocking benefit, keep meals to approximately 15g fat each.
