Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Work
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing these enzymes from breaking down dietary fat. When fat cannot be broken down, approximately one third passes through your body unabsorbed and is eliminated naturally. This mechanism reduces calorie intake from fat without affecting carbohydrates, protein, or alcohol absorption.
Proven Clinical Effect You Can Trust
This fat-blocking mechanism has been extensively studied and proven effective for weight management. Generic orlistat 120mg delivers identical results to branded Xenical 120mg because both contain the same active ingredient at the same dose. The mechanism works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet containing no more than 15g fat per meal. This dietary approach maximises effectiveness while minimising gastrointestinal side effects.
Cost-Effective Treatment Options
Understanding how orlistat works helps you choose the right option. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with EDM10, while branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. Both deliver identical fat-blocking effects. Alli 60mg offers half the dose at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All options work through the same proven mechanism, with higher doses blocking more dietary fat.
