Fast UK Delivery - How Orlistat Works
Orlistat Mechanism Explained - Order Today
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your bloodstream. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from fat as part of a comprehensive weight management approach. Understanding this mechanism helps patients use orlistat effectively alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Mechanism, Better Value
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical contain identical active ingredients with the same fat-blocking mechanism. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). The clinical effect remains identical - orlistat inhibits the same lipase enzymes regardless of branding, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Available Pack Sizes With Express Delivery
We stock multiple pack sizes for flexible treatment duration: 42 capsules (2-week supply) from £15.20, 84 capsules (4-week supply) from £29.69, 168 capsules (8-week supply) from £57.59, and 252 capsules (12-week supply) from £86.39 with EDM10 discount. All sizes qualify for next day delivery when ordered before our 3pm cutoff time.
Clinical Assessment and Fast Dispatch
Following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, approved orders are typically processed within 2-4 hours during working days. Your prescription is reviewed for suitability based on BMI, medical history and current medications. Once approved, medication is dispensed immediately and dispatched via tracked courier for next day arrival. Prescription costs are included - no separate GP visit required.
Understanding Side Effects and Fat Blocking
Orlistat's mechanism of blocking fat absorption may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. These effects indicate the medication is working - unabsorbed fat must exit your system naturally. Keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each significantly reduces side effects while maintaining the fat-blocking mechanism. Most patients adapt within 2-4 weeks as dietary habits adjust.
