How Does the Online Prescription Process Work?
Can Orlistat Help You Lose Weight?
Orlistat can support weight management by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The medication works locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat. Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, following clinical assessment by a qualified prescriber.
Complete Online Prescription Process
Our streamlined prescription service makes accessing orlistat simple. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Medication is dispatched with tracked, next-day delivery in discreet packaging. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Choose Your Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical contains identical orlistat 120mg but costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All three products work by the same mechanism, with 120mg options blocking more dietary fat absorption than Alli 60mg. Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual circumstances.
Maximum Savings with Flexible Supply Options
Choose from 2-week starter packs to 12-week supplies for maximum convenience and value. Generic orlistat 12-week supply costs £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with code EDM10 - saving over £40 annually compared to monthly purchases. Xenical 12-week supply is £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). All patients receive 10% off every order with EDM10, applicable to new and returning customers. Longer supplies reduce per-capsule costs and ensure continuous treatment without interruption.
Professional Support Throughout Your Treatment
Our UK-licensed prescribers provide ongoing support throughout your weight management journey. Orlistat works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet containing no more than 30% calories from fat. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects initially, which reduce as your diet adapts. Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise side effects whilst maintaining effectiveness. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended to support fat-soluble vitamin absorption.
