Start Your Weight Management Journey with Orlistat
What is Orlistat and How Does it Support Weight Loss?
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. Available as generic orlistat 120mg capsules or branded Xenical 120mg, this lipase inhibitor acts locally in your digestive system to reduce fat absorption. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Pricing and Pack Sizes Available
Our competitive pricing makes prescription weight loss treatment accessible. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from just £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10, while 4-week supplies cost £29.69. For longer treatment courses, 12-week packs (252 capsules) are available for £86.39 after discount. Branded Xenical 120mg is also available, with 4-week supplies priced at £38.69 with EDM10. All orders include free prescription and clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment?
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through our comprehensive online clinical assessment, reviewed by qualified UK healthcare professionals. Treatment must always be combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity for optimal results.
How to Order Orlistat Online Safely
Our regulated online prescription service makes accessing orlistat straightforward and legal. Complete our detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery in discreet packaging.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Which to Choose?
Both generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing equivalent clinical effects. The main difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings, with 4-week supplies available from £29.69 compared to Xenical at £38.69 (both with EDM10 discount). Some patients prefer the branded option, while others choose generic orlistat for better value. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your needs and budget.
Managing Side Effects and Treatment Success
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. These effects can be minimised by keeping dietary fat intake low - approximately 15g per meal. Most side effects reduce as your diet adapts. A daily multivitamin is recommended, taken at bedtime. Regular follow-up with healthcare professionals helps ensure treatment remains suitable and effective for your individual circumstances.
