Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Drives Results
The Science Behind Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Action
When you take orlistat before a meal, it travels to your digestive system where it inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This targeted action blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, effectively reducing your calorie intake from dietary fat. This proven mechanism explains why orlistat has become a trusted prescription weight loss medication across the UK.
Take Orlistat Before Meals for Optimal Fat Blocking
The timing of when you take orlistat directly affects how well it blocks fat absorption. Taking orlistat immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal ensures the medication is present when your body attempts to digest dietary fat. Generic orlistat 120mg capsules at £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10) provide a full month's supply when taken three times daily with fat-containing meals.
Compare Your Options: Generic vs Branded Fat Blockers
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and block the same proportion of dietary fat. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings at £63.99 for 168 capsules versus Xenical at £86.99 for the same quantity. With EDM10 discount, generic orlistat costs just £57.59 for eight weeks' supply. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £49.49 for 84 capsules with EDM10.
Why the Mechanism Matters for Your Purchase Decision
Unlike appetite suppressants that affect your brain, orlistat works locally in your gut without entering your bloodstream significantly. This targeted fat-blocking mechanism means you're getting a medication designed specifically to reduce dietary fat absorption by approximately one third. When combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet, this proven mechanism can support meaningful weight management results.
