Why Choose Orlistat 120mg for Weight Management?
How Orlistat 120mg Capsules Support Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg capsules work by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat in your digestive system. This prescription weight loss medication acts locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The clinical effect is equivalent - the key difference is cost. Our generic orlistat starts from £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Both require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Treatment Options and Pricing
We stock multiple orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value: 2-week supply (42 capsules) for £15.20, 4-week supply (84 capsules) for £29.69, 8-week supply (168 capsules) for £57.59, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £86.39 with EDM10. Branded Xenical provides the same clinical benefits at a premium: £19.35 for 2 weeks, £38.69 for 4 weeks, £78.29 for 8 weeks, or £116.09 for 12 weeks with discount code EDM10.
Online Prescription Process
Our streamlined online consultation makes accessing prescription weight loss treatment convenient. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. Where clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. All medication is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Treatment Guidelines and Diet Recommendations
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, either immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. To minimise gastrointestinal side effects, keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal and ensure daily fat represents no more than 30% of total calories. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose, as the medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat 120mg may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our online clinical consultation. Our prescribers consider your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals before determining whether orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances.
