The Science Behind Orlistat: Buy With Confidence
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so your body can absorb it. When orlistat blocks these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through your body undigested. This mechanism proves orlistat works - the unabsorbed fat is eliminated naturally, reducing your calorie intake from fat.
What to Eat on Orlistat for Best Results
Your diet directly impacts how well orlistat works and how you feel taking it. Aim for no more than 15g fat per main meal, spreading your daily fat intake evenly across breakfast, lunch and dinner. High-fat meals increase gastrointestinal side effects significantly because more unabsorbed fat passes through your system. Low-fat meals mean orlistat works comfortably while still blocking approximately one third of dietary fat.
Orlistat 120mg: Prescription Strength Results
Generic orlistat 120mg costs from £15.20 per fortnight (42 capsules) with code EDM10. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Our UK prescribers assess your suitability through an online consultation. A 12-week supply costs £86.39 with EDM10 - substantial savings compared to private GP visits.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat: Same Mechanism
Xenical 120mg contains identical orlistat to the generic version, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat through the same lipase inhibition. The branded Xenical costs from £19.35 per fortnight with EDM10, while generic orlistat delivers identical results for £15.20. Both require the same low-fat diet approach for optimal effectiveness.
Alli 60mg: Lower Dose Option
Alli contains half the orlistat dose of prescription strength, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. At £26.09 monthly with EDM10, Alli may suit those preferring a gentler start. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg offers superior fat-blocking capability - approximately one third versus Alli's reduced effect.
