Why Choose Prescription Orlistat for Weight Loss?
Has Anyone Lost Weight With Orlistat? Clinical Evidence
Clinical studies demonstrate that orlistat may help support weight management when used as part of a comprehensive programme. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat. Individual responses vary, but orlistat is designed to support weight loss alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess suitability based on your individual health profile and weight management goals.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The clinical effect is equivalent - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat starts from £15.20 for 2 weeks (£29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £19.35 for 2 weeks (£38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10). Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work by inhibiting lipase enzymes to reduce dietary fat absorption.
How Orlistat Supports Your Weight Management
Orlistat acts locally in the digestive system, inhibiting enzymes that break down dietary fat. Approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through the body unabsorbed. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from fat when combined with appropriate dietary changes. The medication works best when fat intake per meal is kept low (approximately 15g fat per meal), which also helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects. A multivitamin supplement is recommended due to potential reduced absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
