How Our Online Orlistat Prescription Process Works
Getting orlistat through our online prescription service is straightforward. Complete our clinical health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your details and determines whether orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. Following prescriber approval, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with tracked next-day delivery.
Understanding How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed into your body. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system that normally break down fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body rather than contributing to your calorie intake. Orlistat acts locally in the gut and is not significantly absorbed into your bloodstream, making it different from appetite suppressants that affect the brain.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment Option
We stock three orlistat options following prescriber approval. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective choice at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient as the generic version but costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - but at different doses.
Clinical Assessment by UK-Licensed Prescribers
Your online consultation is reviewed by qualified UK prescribers who assess whether orlistat is suitable for your individual health circumstances. The prescriber considers your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment is always prescribed alongside recommendations for a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Maximising Results While Minimising Side Effects
Orlistat works most effectively when combined with a lower-fat diet containing approximately 30% of calories from fat. Keeping fat intake to around 15g per meal helps maximise weight management benefits while reducing the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. The most common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and oily spotting, which typically reduce as you adapt your diet. These effects occur because unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system.
