Prescription Weight Loss Pills - Clinical Assessment
How Orlistat Pills Support Weight Management
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss pill that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Treatment Options Available
We stock three orlistat options: generic orlistat 120mg capsules from £15.20 (2-week supply with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg from £19.35, and Alli 60mg from £26.09. All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - with the 120mg versions requiring a prescription following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat offers the most cost-effective option, providing identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at significant savings. Order online today for fast UK delivery.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our prescribers based on your medical history and current health status. Orlistat works best when you're committed to following a lower-fat diet and increasing physical activity alongside taking the medication.
Important Safety Information
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat passing through your system. These effects can be minimised by keeping fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal). Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt their diet. A multivitamin supplement is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow your prescriber's guidance and read the patient information leaflet.
