Patient Information from GPhC-Registered Pharmacy
EverydayMeds provides comprehensive patient information leaflets for all orlistat products dispensed through our Leicester-based pharmacy. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, we ensure every patient receives detailed guidance on orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, and Alli 60mg. Our UK-licensed prescribers review each case individually, providing personalised treatment information alongside your prescription medication.
Understanding Your Orlistat Treatment Options
Our patient information covers three orlistat formulations available through prescription or clinical assessment. Orlistat 120mg capsules work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Generic orlistat 120mg costs from £29.69 (4-week supply with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical 120mg costs £38.69 (4-week supply with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £26.09 (4-week supply with EDM10).
How Orlistat Works - Patient Guidance
Your patient information leaflet explains orlistat's mechanism of action in detail. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Orlistat works best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat per serving, helping minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst supporting your weight management programme.
Dosing Information and Treatment Duration
Standard dosing involves one 120mg capsule taken three times daily with each fat-containing meal. Our pharmacy supplies various pack sizes: 42 capsules (2-week supply) from £15.20, 84 capsules (4-week supply) from £29.69, 168 capsules (8-week supply) from £57.59, and 252 capsules (12-week supply) from £86.39. All prices include our EDM10 discount available to new and returning customers.
Safety Information and Side Effect Management
Your comprehensive patient leaflet details potential side effects and management strategies. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Common effects include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These can be significantly reduced by maintaining a lower-fat diet throughout treatment. Our pharmacy team provides ongoing support and guidance for managing any treatment concerns.
