Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed. When orlistat blocks these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested and passes naturally through your body. This reduces calorie intake from fat, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Mechanism, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). The clinical effect is identical - the difference is cost.

Why This Mechanism Proves Effectiveness
The lipase inhibition mechanism is why orlistat works for weight management. By blocking approximately one third of dietary fat calories, it creates a calorie deficit when combined with a lower-fat diet. This is fundamentally different from Ozempic, which affects blood sugar regulation. Orlistat's gut-based action means it works directly where fat digestion occurs, providing measurable support for weight reduction.
Alli 60mg: Lower Dose, Same Mechanism
Alli 60mg uses the same fat-blocking mechanism at half the prescription strength. This lower dose blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat but may cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects. 4-week Alli supply costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). Choose from three effective options based on your preference and clinical assessment results.
