How Quickly Does Orlistat Work? Get Your Prescription Today
When Does Orlistat Start Working?
Orlistat begins working within 1-2 days of starting treatment. The medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut, making its effects noticeable quickly when taken with meals containing fat.
Online Prescription Process - Simple & Fast
Getting your orlistat prescription online through EverydayMeds is straightforward. Complete our secure health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your information within 24 hours and issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP fees.
Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value for prescription-strength treatment. Available in multiple pack sizes: 2-week supply (42 capsules) £16.89, 4-week supply (84 capsules) £32.99, 8-week supply (168 capsules) £63.99, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) £95.99. Use code EDM10 for 10% off, bringing your 4-week supply to just £29.69. Take one capsule three times daily with meals containing fat.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Active Ingredient
Xenical 120mg contains identical orlistat to the generic version but costs more due to branding. Both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption with identical clinical effects. Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) compared to generic orlistat at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Choose based on your preference and budget - both require the same online prescription process.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli provides half the dose at 60mg per capsule, offering a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment. While less potent than prescription-strength options, Alli may suit those preferring lower-dose treatment. Available as 4-week supply (42 capsules) £28.99, 8-week supply (84 capsules) £54.99, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) £129.99. All prices reduced by 10% with EDM10.
What to Expect When Starting Treatment
Orlistat works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with no more than 15g fat per meal. This minimises gastrointestinal side effects while maximising effectiveness. Most patients notice the medication working within days through changes in bowel movements - this indicates unabsorbed fat being eliminated. Side effects typically reduce as you adapt your diet to lower fat intake.
