How Orlistat 120mg Works + Your Ongoing Savings
How Orlistat 120mg Works in Your Body
Orlistat 120mg works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, reducing the calories your body takes in from fat. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut and is not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts. The medication must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to be effective, with each 120mg capsule taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.

Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work the same way in your body. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period with the same discount. You'll save approximately £9 per month choosing generic orlistat whilst getting the same fat-blocking effect. Our UK-licensed prescribers can discuss which option suits your preferences during your clinical assessment.
What to Expect When Taking Orlistat
Most patients experience gastrointestinal effects, particularly when consuming higher-fat meals. Keeping your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal significantly reduces these effects whilst maximising orlistat's effectiveness. Common experiences include oily stools, increased bowel movement frequency, and occasional urgency. These effects indicate the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
