How Does Orlistat 120mg Work & Current Pricing
Understanding How Orlistat 120mg Works
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking 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 supporting weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication acts locally in your gut rather than being absorbed into your bloodstream, making it different from appetite suppressants that work on the brain.

Clinical Assessment Process
Following an online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions. Your prescriber will review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals to determine if orlistat 120mg is clinically appropriate for you. The consultation is included in your order price - no separate GP appointment required.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. Generic orlistat offers significant savings - a 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Many patients choose generic orlistat for better value whilst others prefer the branded option. Both require prescription following clinical assessment.
Managing Side Effects and Maximising Results
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These effects can be minimised by keeping each meal to approximately 15g of fat and spreading your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat diet.
