How Our UK Online Prescription Process Works
Understanding How Orlistat Works - Not an Appetite Suppressant
Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system. It inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat, preventing approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary sources when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
UK Online Prescription Service - Fast Access to Treatment
Our streamlined online prescription process eliminates the need for a separate GP appointment. Complete your medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a prescription. Treatment is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next day delivery.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Choose from three clinically-proven options. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value - 4 weeks costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Lower-strength Alli 60mg provides a gentler starting option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All prices include the prescription consultation.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber assesses individual suitability based on your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. Not everyone will be eligible - this depends on your personal health circumstances.
What to Expect During Treatment
Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Keep dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Most patients experience oily stools or increased bowel movements initially - these effects typically reduce as your diet adapts. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels.
