Orlistat vs GLP-1: Key Differences
Orlistat is not a GLP-1 medication. While GLP-1 treatments like semaglutide work by affecting hormones that control appetite and blood sugar, orlistat takes a completely different approach. Orlistat works locally in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body.
Unlike injectable GLP-1 medications, orlistat comes in capsule form and acts only in your gut - it's not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts. Both approaches may help support weight management, but through entirely different mechanisms. Your prescriber can help determine which treatment approach may be most suitable for your individual circumstances.

Choose Your Orlistat Option
All three products contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option at prescription strength. Xenical 120mg is the branded version from Roche - clinically identical to generic orlistat but at a premium price. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative for those preferring to start with half the prescription dose.
With EDM10, you save on whichever option suits you best. A 12-week supply of generic orlistat costs £86.39 with the discount - that's nearly £10 in savings on a single order, with the same saving available every time you reorder.
How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut that break down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat from your meals cannot be digested or absorbed. This reduction in absorbed calories may help support weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
The effect happens locally in your digestive system, which is why most side effects are gastrointestinal. Keeping your meals low in fat (around 15g per meal) helps minimise these effects while still allowing the medication to work effectively.
