Mounjaro vs Orlistat: Understanding Your Options
When comparing weight loss treatments, many patients ask whether Mounjaro is better than orlistat. Both medications work differently and require prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. Orlistat works locally in the gut, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, whilst Mounjaro is an injectable medication with a different mechanism. At EverydayMeds, our qualified prescribers can assess your suitability for orlistat during an online consultation, with treatment available from £16.89 for a 2-week supply.
Getting Your Orlistat Prescription Online
Our streamlined prescription process makes accessing orlistat simple. Complete your online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with discreet next day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.
Orlistat Treatment Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £16.89 for 42 capsules (2-week supply). Our 12-week supply of 252 capsules costs £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with discount code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at the same dose, starting from £21.50 for 42 capsules. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg capsules are available from £28.99 for a 4-week supply.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike injectable medications such as Mounjaro, orlistat capsules are taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Clinical Assessment for Orlistat
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is assessed individually by our UK-licensed prescribers during the online consultation. The prescriber will review your medical history, current medications, and health circumstances to determine whether orlistat treatment is appropriate for you.
