How Our Online Orlistat Prescription Service Works
Understanding How Orlistat Works
Orlistat doesn't technically "burn" existing fat stores. Instead, it works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed in your gut. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat, meaning unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. This reduction in fat absorption can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Getting Your Orlistat Prescription Online
Our streamlined online prescription service makes accessing orlistat straightforward. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. The entire process typically takes 24 hours from consultation to dispatch.
Orlistat Product Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value, starting from £15.20 for 42 capsules (2-week supply) with code EDM10. Our 12-week supply costs just £86.39 after discount. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at £19.35 for 42 capsules with EDM10. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £26.09 for 42 capsules (4-week supply) with discount code.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each consultation individually. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber will review your medical history, current medications, and weight management needs before making a prescribing decision.
What to Expect During Treatment
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Most people notice orlistat's effects within 24-48 hours as unabsorbed fat passes through the digestive system. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maintaining the medication's effectiveness. Always combine orlistat with a structured diet and exercise programme for optimal results.
