Why Choose Orlistat 120mg for Weight Management?
Prescription Weight Loss Treatment That Works
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication available through our GPhC-registered online pharmacy. This clinically proven treatment works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system to reduce fat absorption.
How Orlistat 120mg Supports Weight Loss
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 absorbed and passes naturally through your body. This reduction in absorbed calories can support weight loss as part of a structured weight management programme. Individual responses vary, and the medication works best when combined with a lower-fat diet containing no more than 15g fat per meal.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Price
We offer both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Generic orlistat provides the same clinical effect as Xenical but at a significantly lower cost. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Choosing generic orlistat can save you approximately £120 per year compared to branded Xenical.
Flexible Pack Sizes to Suit Your Needs
Choose from multiple pack sizes: 2-week supply (42 capsules) from £16.89, 4-week supply (84 capsules) from £32.99, 8-week supply (168 capsules) from £63.99, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) from £95.99. All prices include the online consultation and prescription. Use code EDM10 at checkout to save 10% on every order, bringing your 2-week supply down to just £15.20.
Online Prescription Process Made Simple
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward through our regulated online service. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your information and issue a prescription if clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat 120mg may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment. You must be prepared to follow a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increase your physical activity levels.
Managing Side Effects Effectively
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal symptoms related to unabsorbed fat. These can include oily stools, increased bowel movement frequency, and abdominal discomfort. Side effects are more common when consuming high-fat meals and can be minimised by keeping your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt to a lower-fat diet.
