Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat 120mg Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that targets fat absorption in your digestive system. When you take orlistat 120mg capsules, the active ingredient inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. With these enzymes blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, reducing the calories your body takes in from dietary fat.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
Unlike stimulant-based weight loss treatments that affect your brain, orlistat's mechanism is direct and measurable. The medication acts locally in your gut, blocking fat absorption at the source. This means you can see evidence that it's working - the gastrointestinal effects confirm that dietary fat is being prevented from entering your system. At EverydayMeds, our orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - both containing identical 120mg orlistat doses.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Same Mechanism, Different Strengths
All three products work through the same fat-blocking mechanism, but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines containing identical active ingredients - the difference is price. Generic orlistat saves approximately £9 per month compared to branded Xenical. Alli 60mg contains half the dose, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. For maximum effectiveness, our UK-licensed prescribers typically recommend the full 120mg prescription strength, available from £63.99 for 8 weeks (£57.59 with EDM10).
