Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
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 system and is excreted. The mechanism is proof that orlistat works - you can buy generic orlistat 120mg from £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10) or branded Xenical from £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10).
Can Orlistat Cause Constipation?
Orlistat typically doesn't cause constipation. Instead, the unabsorbed fat passing through your system may cause oily or loose stools, increased bowel frequency, or urgent bowel movements. These effects occur because approximately one third of dietary fat isn't absorbed and must be eliminated. The mechanism actually tends to increase rather than decrease bowel movements. If you experience unusual digestive symptoms, consult your prescriber. Buy orlistat online today - our UK-licensed prescribers will assess your suitability.
Why the Fat-Blocking Mechanism Proves Effectiveness
The visible effects of orlistat's mechanism demonstrate it's working. When unabsorbed fat appears in stools, this confirms approximately one third of dietary fat is being blocked from absorption. This reduces calorie intake from fat when combined with a lower-fat, reduced-calorie diet. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the same fat-blocking mechanism as branded Xenical at significant savings. Choose your 8-week supply: generic orlistat £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) versus Xenical £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10).
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Mechanism, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. They both inhibit lipase enzymes and block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The clinical effect is identical - only the cost differs. Generic orlistat provides substantial savings: 12-week supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Save over £29 by choosing generic while getting the same proven mechanism.
