How Orlistat 120mg Supports Weight Management
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. As a lipase inhibitor, orlistat prevents enzymes from breaking down fat, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Same Effect, Better Value
Our generic orlistat 120mg contains the same active ingredient as branded Xenical at identical dosing, offering clinically equivalent effects at a lower cost. A 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving approximately £9 monthly. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work identically in supporting weight management for adults with obesity or weight-related health conditions.
Available Pack Sizes and Pricing
Choose from flexible supply options to suit your treatment plan. Our 2-week supply (42 capsules) starts from £15.20 with EDM10, perfect for initial trials. The popular 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £29.69 with discount, whilst our 12-week supply (252 capsules) at £86.39 offers best value for established treatment. All prices include prescription fees and next day delivery across the UK.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Following online clinical assessment, our UK-licensed prescribers review medical history, current medications and weight management goals. Treatment suitability varies individually - assessment determines whether orlistat supports your specific circumstances safely and effectively.

Our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy dispenses all orders using MHRA-approved supply chains, ensuring identical quality standards to high street pharmacies.

Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works most effectively when combined with structured dietary changes - keeping fat intake to approximately 15g per meal minimises side effects whilst maximising benefit. Most patients experience gastrointestinal effects initially, which typically reduce as diet adapts. We recommend taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime to support fat-soluble vitamin absorption during treatment.
