How Orlistat Capsules Work for Weight Management
Understanding Orlistat Capsules Uses
Orlistat capsules work by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed in your digestive system. Available as generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, or lower-strength Alli 60mg, these prescription medicines inhibit lipase enzymes in the gut. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.

Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which to Choose?
All three contain orlistat as the active ingredient. Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent prescription-only medicines, with the key difference being cost. Generic orlistat offers identical effects at lower prices. Alli 60mg provides half the dose for those preferring a lower-strength option. Your prescriber will assess which strength is most suitable following your online clinical consultation.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. Subject to prescriber approval, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly with next day delivery. Treatment may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions.
Managing Side Effects While Taking Orlistat
Most orlistat side effects are gastrointestinal and linked to dietary fat intake. Common effects include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. Keep meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) to minimise side effects significantly. Consider a daily multivitamin taken at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Reordering Made Simple with EDM10
Regular orlistat users benefit from consistent 10% savings on every reorder. Whether you need 2-week top-ups (42 capsules at £15.20 with EDM10) or prefer 12-week supplies for better value, code EDM10 applies to every purchase. Stock up on longer supplies for maximum savings - 12-week orlistat supplies cost £86.39 with discount, offering better value per capsule than shorter courses.
