How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary fat. The medication must be used alongside a structured weight management programme including a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity for optimal results.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals through a comprehensive online consultation. If orlistat is clinically appropriate for your individual circumstances, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. The entire process typically takes 24 hours from assessment to dispatch.
Suitability and Eligibility
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Final prescribing decisions are made following individual clinical assessment by qualified healthcare professionals who will determine whether treatment is appropriate for your specific health circumstances.
Managing Treatment Effectively
For best results and to minimise gastrointestinal side effects, keep dietary fat intake to approximately 15g per meal spread across three main meals daily. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended to support fat-soluble vitamin absorption.
