How Our Online Orlistat Prescription Process Works
What Do Orlistat Tablets Do?
Orlistat tablets work by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed in your digestive system. The active ingredient inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing fat breakdown and absorption. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Online Prescription Options Available
We offer three orlistat options through our online prescription service. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective choice at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with tracked next-day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Who May Be Suitable for Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess individual suitability through the online consultation, considering your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. Treatment must always be combined with a structured diet and exercise programme for effectiveness.
Safety Information and Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects. Most are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake - including oily stools, increased bowel movements, and urgent toilet needs. These effects can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal). Side effects are actually a sign the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. Always follow prescriber guidance and seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent.
