Why Choose EverydayMeds for Orlistat Treatment?
How Orlistat Function Works in Your Body
Orlistat functions as a lipase inhibitor, working locally in your digestive system rather than affecting your brain or nervous system. When you take orlistat capsules with meals, the active ingredient blocks specific enzymes called lipases that break down dietary fat. This mechanism prevents approximately one third of the fat you consume from being absorbed into your bloodstream. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system and is eliminated from your body.
At EverydayMeds, our UK-licensed prescribers ensure you understand exactly how orlistat functions before prescribing treatment. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, we provide comprehensive guidance on optimising orlistat function through proper dosing and dietary management.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Understanding the Differences
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and function in exactly the same way. The primary difference is cost - our generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 with the same discount code. Both require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg functions using the same mechanism but at half the prescription strength. This lower-dose option may suit individuals seeking a gentler introduction to orlistat function, available from £26.09 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10.
Maximising Orlistat Function Through Proper Use
Orlistat function depends on correct timing and dosing. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. This ensures orlistat function aligns with your dietary fat intake.
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy provides detailed guidance on optimising orlistat function. Keep dietary fat to approximately 15g per meal and spread evenly across three daily meals. High-fat meals can overwhelm orlistat function and increase gastrointestinal side effects significantly.
Why Choose a GPhC-Registered Pharmacy for Orlistat
EverydayMeds operates under strict GPhC regulation, ensuring every aspect of orlistat supply meets UK pharmaceutical standards. Our Leicester-based pharmacy sources all medication through licensed UK supply chains, with MHRA oversight guaranteeing product authenticity and quality.

We conduct thorough clinical assessments, considering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals before prescribing treatment.
Clinical Assessment Process
Understanding orlistat function begins with proper clinical evaluation.
