How the Online Prescription Process Works
Understanding How Orlistat Works
Orlistat 120mg (available as generic orlistat or branded Xenical) works 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, reducing the calories absorbed from meals.
Unlike appetite suppressants that work in the brain, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system and is not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts. The medication must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity for optimal results.
Your Online Prescription Journey
EverydayMeds makes accessing orlistat simple through our regulated online prescription service. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your details and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for your circumstances.
Following prescriber approval, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next day delivery. The prescription consultation is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Choose from generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective option) or branded Xenical 120mg (same active ingredient and clinical effect). Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses.
Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All customers receive 10% off every order with code EDM10, whether new or returning.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess individual suitability based on your medical information and current circumstances.
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, particularly gastrointestinal effects when eating high-fat meals. Keeping dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces side effects whilst maintaining the medication's effectiveness.
