How Orlistat Works + Order with 10% Off Today
Understanding Orlistat's Mechanism of Action
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. It achieves this by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system - these are the enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When lipases are blocked, unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body rather than contributing to weight gain. This mechanism occurs locally in your gut, meaning orlistat isn't absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts.

Why the Mechanism Matters for Your Treatment
Understanding how orlistat blocks fat absorption helps you use it more effectively. Since it works on dietary fat specifically, keeping your fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) maximises results while minimising gastrointestinal side effects. The medication doesn't affect carbohydrates, proteins, or alcohol - it only targets fat digestion. This targeted mechanism means orlistat may support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Regular Savings for Ongoing Treatment
Weight management often requires consistent treatment over several months. With EDM10, you save on every reorder - whether that's 8-week supplies at £57.59 (was £63.99) for generic orlistat, or 12-week supplies at £86.39 (was £95.99). Branded Xenical 12-week supplies cost £116.09 with EDM10 (was £128.99). These ongoing savings add up significantly over a typical treatment course, making your weight management journey more affordable.
