How Orlistat Works for Weight Management
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss treatment that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. As a lipase inhibitor, it acts locally in the digestive system to prevent fat absorption, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through the body. This mechanism may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Treatment Options at EverydayMeds
We offer three clinically proven weight management options. Generic orlistat 120mg provides cost-effective prescription treatment from £16.89 for 42 capsules (2-week supply), or £29.69 with EDM10.

Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 42 capsules (4-week supply), or £26.09 with EDM10.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our online clinical consultation, reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers who determine whether prescription weight loss medication is appropriate for your circumstances.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
Our regulated online consultation replaces the need for a GP appointment whilst maintaining the same clinical standards. Complete your medical questionnaire detailing your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works most effectively when combined with a structured approach to diet and lifestyle. Keep meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) to maximise treatment benefits and minimise gastrointestinal side effects. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Regular physical activity and ongoing dietary support enhance the potential benefits of prescription weight loss treatment.
