Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment Options
EverydayMeds offers three prescription weight loss options to support your weight management goals. Orlistat 120mg capsules (generic) provide cost-effective treatment from £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Xenical 120mg (branded orlistat) offers the same clinical effect from £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option from £26.09 for 4 weeks. All products work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Using Orlistat with Birth Control
Orlistat may be used alongside hormonal birth control methods, but it's important to discuss this with your prescriber during clinical assessment. The medication works locally in the digestive system and is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream. However, gastrointestinal side effects such as oily stools or increased bowel frequency could potentially affect the absorption of oral contraceptives. Your UK-licensed prescriber will review your current medications and contraceptive methods to ensure orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat sources. This mechanism can support weight loss when combined with a structured programme including a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Treatment response varies between individuals, and long-term weight management depends on continued lifestyle changes alongside medication.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our regulated online prescription service makes accessing weight loss treatment straightforward. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications including birth control, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and assesses whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If suitable, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Treatment includes discreet next-day delivery with no separate GP appointment required.
Dosing and Side Effect Management
Orlistat 120mg is taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. The key to minimising side effects is keeping dietary fat intake low - approximately 15g fat per meal. Common gastrointestinal effects include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and urgent need to open bowels. These effects are more likely with high-fat meals and typically reduce as diet adapts. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
