How Orlistat Capsules Support Weight Management
What Orlistat Capsules Are Used For
Orlistat capsules are prescription-only weight loss tablets used to support weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions. The active ingredient orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, potentially reducing calorie intake as part of a structured weight management programme.
Available Orlistat Products and Pricing
EverydayMeds offers three orlistat options following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective prescription option, with 4-week supplies from £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient but as the branded version costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All prices include 10% discount with code EDM10.
How the Online Prescription Process Works
Accessing orlistat through our regulated online service involves completing a detailed health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester then dispenses and dispatches your medication with next day delivery across the UK. This private prescription service provides faster access than NHS routes without requiring a GP appointment.
Treatment Guidelines and Diet Requirements
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical are taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, up to one hour after eating. The medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet containing no more than approximately 30% of calories from fat. High-fat meals significantly increase gastrointestinal side effects, so keeping meals to around 15g fat helps minimise these effects while maintaining the medication's effectiveness.
