Choose Your Orlistat Strength Based on How It Works
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, reducing the calories your body takes in from fatty foods. The mechanism is the same whether you choose 60mg Alli or 120mg prescription orlistat - but the strength determines how much fat gets blocked.
60mg vs 120mg: The Clinical Difference
Alli 60mg blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to prescription-strength 120mg orlistat. The 120mg dose provides maximum fat-blocking action, making it suitable for adults with higher BMIs who need stronger support alongside their reduced-calorie diet. Generic orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 - significantly less than Alli's £26.09 for the same period at lower strength.
Why the Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
Unlike appetite suppressants that work in your brain, orlistat's gut-based mechanism means you can see it working. The gastrointestinal effects - whilst manageable on a low-fat diet - are actually proof that approximately one third of your dietary fat is being blocked rather than absorbed. This tangible mechanism has made orlistat the UK's most prescribed weight loss medication.
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Mechanism, Better Value
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and block exactly the same amount of dietary fat. The fat-blocking mechanism is clinically equivalent, but generic orlistat offers superior value. Compare 12-week supplies: generic orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £116.09 - a saving of nearly £30 for identical fat-blocking action.
Maximising Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Benefits
To optimise orlistat's mechanism, distribute your daily fat intake across three meals with no more than 15g fat per meal. This approach maximises the fat-blocking effect whilst minimising side effects. Take one capsule with each main meal - the mechanism only works when there's fat to block, so skip doses with fat-free meals.
