Why Choose Prescription Orlistat for Weight Loss?
Prescription Weight Loss Treatment UK
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Available as generic orlistat capsules from £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10) or branded Xenical from £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This lipase inhibitor acts locally in your digestive system, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Orlistat 120mg Supports Weight Management
When you take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, orlistat inhibits enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This may help reduce calorie intake from fat as part of a structured weight management programme. Unlike stimulants, orlistat doesn't affect your brain - it works entirely within your gut to support weight reduction alongside dietary and lifestyle changes.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical
Both options contain identical orlistat 120mg and offer the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat provides excellent value at £95.99 for 12 weeks (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option, whilst others choose generic orlistat for cost-effectiveness. Your prescriber can help you decide which suits your needs following clinical assessment.
Online Prescription Process
Access prescription weight loss treatment through our regulated online service. Complete a medical questionnaire covering your health history, BMI, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Treatment is suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Managing Treatment Effectively
Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat - maximum three capsules daily. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools or increased bowel frequency. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime supports fat-soluble vitamin absorption. Most side effects reduce as your diet adapts to lower fat intake.
