How Our Online Prescription Process Works
How Does Orlistat Work?
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary fat. The medication works locally in the gut and is designed to support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Does Alli Work Compared to Prescription Orlistat?
Alli contains 60mg orlistat - half the dose of prescription-strength 120mg. Both work through the same mechanism but prescription orlistat 120mg blocks a greater proportion of dietary fat. Our prescription orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, whilst Alli 60mg costs £26.09 for 4 weeks. Many patients find prescription-strength more effective for their weight management goals.
Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting orlistat with prescription included is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with tracked next-day delivery.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat saves approximately £9 per month compared to Xenical. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat?
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is assessed individually by qualified prescribers. Treatment must always be used alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity for optimal results.
