Why Choose EverydayMeds for Orlistat 120mg?
Orlistat 120mg: How It Works
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of the fat you eat. This prescription-only medicine acts locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds ensures you receive genuine orlistat 120mg following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
UK Registered Pharmacy You Can Trust
EverydayMeds operates under full GPhC registration from our Leicester facility. Our MHRA-regulated supply chain ensures every orlistat 120mg capsule meets UK pharmaceutical standards. Unlike unregulated suppliers, we provide legitimate prescription support with qualified healthcare professionals reviewing every order. Your medication arrives with full prescribing information and ongoing clinical support.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Effect, Better Value
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat but generic orlistat offers significant savings. A 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Our prescribers can recommend the most suitable option during your clinical assessment. Both require the same prescription process and deliver equivalent fat-blocking effects when used alongside a lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment Process
Every orlistat prescription requires clinical review by our UK-licensed prescribers. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions. Following prescriber approval, we dispense and dispatch your medication within 24 hours with tracked delivery.
Dosing and Treatment Packs
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Our pack sizes provide flexible treatment duration: 42 capsules (2-week supply) from £16.89, 84 capsules (4-week supply) from £32.99, 168 capsules (8-week supply) from £63.99, or 252 capsules (12-week supply) from £95.99. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order. Skip doses when meals contain no fat.
Managing Side Effects Safely
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. Keep dietary fat to approximately 15g per meal to minimise oily stools, flatulence, or urgent bowel movements. These effects indicate the medication is working and typically reduce as your diet adapts. Our pharmacy team provides ongoing support and guidance throughout your treatment journey.
