Professional Weight Loss Support with Orlistat UK
Understanding Orlistat Dosing for Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg represents the prescription-strength dose designed to support weight management in eligible adults. The standard orlistat dose is one 120mg capsule taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. This means you'll take 21 capsules per week, making our 2-week supply (42 capsules) at £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10) an affordable starting point. For longer-term treatment, our 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), providing excellent value for sustained weight management support.
How Orlistat Works at the Correct Dose
When taken at the prescribed dose of 120mg three times daily, orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed, with the unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, offering clinically equivalent effects. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat can save you approximately £9 per month compared to Xenical whilst delivering the same weight management support.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
Our range accommodates different preferences and budgets. Orlistat 120mg (generic) offers the most cost-effective prescription option, whilst Xenical 120mg provides the branded alternative at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10) contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. All options require commitment to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to maximise effectiveness and minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Clinical Assessment for Prescription Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg requires prescription following individual clinical assessment by our UK-licensed healthcare professionals. Generally suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our online consultation process eliminates the need for GP appointments - simply complete our confidential health questionnaire, receive prescriber review, and have your medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
