Is Orlistat Safe for Weight Loss?
Orlistat is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that has been extensively studied and prescribed worldwide for weight management. As a lipase inhibitor, orlistat works locally in the gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the body. This mechanism has been clinically validated and may help support weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Three Orlistat Options Available
We offer three orlistat formulations to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All options require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
How Our Safe Online Prescription Service Works
Following completion of our comprehensive online health questionnaire, your information is reviewed by a qualified UK-licensed prescriber who will assess whether orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next-day delivery. The entire process is regulated by the MHRA and meets the same standards as any UK high street pharmacy.
Safety Profile and Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat passing through the system. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Side effects can be significantly minimised by keeping dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal). Most patients find side effects reduce over time as their diet adapts. Our clinical team provides comprehensive guidance on managing your treatment safely.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually, taking into account your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Not everyone will be eligible - certain conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or chronic malabsorption syndrome are contraindications to treatment.
