Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying Today
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed into your body. When orlistat blocks these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system and is excreted from your body. The mechanism is the same whether you buy generic orlistat 120mg (4 weeks for £32.99, just £29.69 with code EDM10) or branded Xenical 120mg (4 weeks for £42.99, £38.69 with EDM10).
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
Unlike appetite suppressants that work in the brain, orlistat's fat-blocking action is measurable and predictable. When you take one 120mg capsule with each main meal, you're actively reducing calorie absorption from dietary fat. This mechanism means orlistat can support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The fat-blocking effect occurs with every meal containing fat - that's why consistent use matters. Order your orlistat treatment today through our online clinical assessment.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Same Mechanism
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredient at the same dose. The fat-blocking mechanism is identical - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The key difference is cost savings. Our generic orlistat 120mg costs £95.99 for 12 weeks (£86.39 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £128.99 for 12 weeks (£116.09 with EDM10). That's nearly £30 savings over 12 weeks by choosing generic orlistat while getting exactly the same clinical effect.
What Happens to Blocked Fat
The approximately one third of dietary fat that orlistat blocks doesn't disappear - it passes through your digestive system unchanged. This is why keeping fat intake low (around 15g per meal) helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects. The blocked fat serves as visible proof that orlistat is working. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. For those preferring a gentler start, Alli 60mg offers half the dose (4 weeks for £28.99, £26.09 with EDM10).
