How Orlistat Supports Weight Loss
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in the gut and is designed to support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Which Should You Choose?
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), while Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, while others choose generic orlistat for cost savings. Your prescriber can help you decide which option suits your needs best.
