Why Choose Orlistat Hard Capsules for Weight Loss?
How Orlistat Hard Capsules Support Weight Loss
Orlistat hard capsules work by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed by your body. As a lipase inhibitor, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system to prevent fat-digesting enzymes from breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce your overall calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Options Available at EverydayMeds
We stock three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg hard capsules offer excellent value from £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £42.99 for 84 capsules (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £28.99 for 42 capsules (£26.09 with EDM10). All require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward through our regulated online service. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our clinical consultation. Your prescriber will consider your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals before deciding if orlistat is appropriate for you.
Managing Side Effects and Maximising Success
Most side effects of orlistat are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Keeping your meals low in fat - approximately 15g per meal - can significantly reduce side effects while maximising the medication's effectiveness. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose.
