How Orlistat Works: The Science Behind Fat Blocking
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, reducing calorie intake from fat. Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg use this identical mechanism - there's no clinical difference in how they work.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Mechanism, Different Price
The key difference isn't how they work - it's cost. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both block approximately one third of dietary fat through the same lipase inhibition mechanism. Choose generic orlistat for maximum value, or Xenical if you prefer the branded option.
Why the Mechanism Matters for Your Weight Management
Understanding how orlistat blocks fat absorption explains why it must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The mechanism works best when meals contain moderate fat levels - high-fat meals increase side effects as more unabsorbed fat passes through your system. This proven fat-blocking mechanism has helped thousands achieve their weight management goals.
