Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Action Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that break down dietary fat. By blocking these enzymes, orlistat prevents approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your bloodstream. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your calorie intake from dietary sources. Generic orlistat 120mg provides this proven mechanism from £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with code EDM10), making it a cost-effective weight management option.
Why You Can Drink Alcohol On Orlistat
Because orlistat works specifically on fat absorption in your gut, it doesn't interact with alcohol metabolism. Alcohol calories aren't blocked by orlistat - only dietary fat calories are affected. This targeted mechanism means you can have moderate alcohol consumption while taking orlistat, though alcohol does contain calories that contribute to your daily intake. Understanding this mechanism shows why orlistat is clinically different from other weight management approaches that might affect your entire system.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Proven Mechanism
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients working through the same fat-blocking mechanism. Generic orlistat offers significant savings - 4 weeks costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £38.69. For 12 weeks, you save over £29 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). The clinical effect blocking approximately one third of dietary fat remains identical regardless of which option you choose.
