Complete Online Assessment - Get Orlistat Prescribed Today
How Our Online Orlistat Prescription Process Works
Getting orlistat prescribed online is straightforward with EverydayMeds. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours and determines whether orlistat 120mg is clinically appropriate for your individual circumstances. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next day delivery.
Using Orlistat 120mg for Effective Weight Management
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat - immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. Generic orlistat 120mg costs from £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10, while branded Xenical 120mg costs £38.69 for the same period. Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect.
Maximising Results: Diet and Lifestyle Alongside Orlistat
Orlistat works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet containing no more than 30% calories from fat. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals (approximately 15g fat per meal) to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. The medication supports weight management by reducing fat absorption, but long-term success depends on maintaining healthy eating habits and regular physical activity even after completing treatment.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Choosing Your Prescription
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent, containing the same active ingredient at identical doses. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat saves approximately £9 per month compared to Xenical. Our 12-week supply options offer better value: generic orlistat costs £86.39 (252 capsules) while Xenical costs £116.09 with EDM10 discount. Your prescriber will discuss which option suits your preferences and budget during the online consultation.
Who Can Get Orlistat Prescribed Online
Orlistat 120mg may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each application individually, considering your medical history, current medications, and weight management needs. The online consultation process typically takes 24 hours, with most suitable applicants receiving prescription approval for immediate dispatch.
Managing Side Effects and Treatment Expectations
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, primarily gastrointestinal effects linked to unabsorbed fat passing through your system. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and oily spotting. Side effects indicate the medication is working and typically reduce as your diet adapts. Taking a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels during treatment.
