Understanding Orlistat: The Active Ingredient
Orlistat is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in three weight management treatments available through EverydayMeds: generic orlistat 120mg capsules, branded Xenical 120mg, and lower-strength Alli 60mg. This medication works locally in the digestive system as a lipase inhibitor, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into the body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the digestive system, potentially supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Treatment Options and Pricing
Our generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value, with 4-week supplies (84 capsules) costing £32.99, reduced to just £29.69 with discount code EDM10. For those preferring the branded option, Xenical 120mg containing identical orlistat active ingredient costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £54.99 for 8 weeks, reduced to £49.49 with our discount code. All prices include the online prescription consultation with our UK-licensed prescribers.
How the Orlistat Active Ingredient Works
Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works exclusively in the gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fats. When you take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, the medication blocks approximately one third of that meal's fat content from being digested and absorbed. This mechanism may help reduce overall calorie intake from dietary fat, supporting weight management goals when combined with appropriate dietary changes and regular exercise.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment by qualified healthcare professionals. Our online consultation process involves completing a detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews this information to determine treatment suitability based on factors including BMI, existing health conditions, and potential drug interactions. Prescriptions are issued where clinically appropriate, with all medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
