Professional Prescription Weight Loss Support
Prescription Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that may help support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike treatments that work on appetite, orlistat acts locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes, helping to block approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed.
Available Prescription Options
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy offers three clinically proven options following online assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides cost-effective treatment from £29.69 per 4-week supply with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient for £38.69 per 4-week supply with EDM10. For those seeking a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £26.09 per 4-week supply with EDM10.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by targeting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that normally break down dietary fat. When these enzymes are inhibited, approximately one third of the fat from your meals cannot be digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially reducing your calorie intake from dietary fat. The medication is designed to support weight reduction when combined with a structured diet and exercise programme.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Accessing prescription weight loss treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and regulated. Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with next day delivery.
Treatment Suitability and Safety
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our prescribers. Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These can be minimised by maintaining a lower-fat diet with approximately 15g fat per meal.
Cost-Effective Prescription Access
