How Our Online Orlistat Prescription Process Works
Understanding Orlistat Capsules and Their Uses
Orlistat 120mg capsules are prescription-only medicines designed for weight management in adults. They work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Every prescription requires individual clinical assessment by a qualified UK prescriber.
Your Complete Online Prescription Journey
Our streamlined process makes accessing orlistat straightforward and professional. First, complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire, providing details about your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your information within hours, assessing your suitability for treatment.
If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and sent directly to our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. We dispense your medication using the same regulatory standards as any high street pharmacy, then dispatch it with next day delivery in discreet, secure packaging.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Choose Your Option
We offer both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Generic orlistat provides excellent value at £32.99 for 84 capsules (4 weeks), reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical costs £42.99 for the same supply, or £38.69 with EDM10. Both options are clinically equivalent - the choice depends on your preference and budget.
For those preferring a lower-strength option, we also supply Alli 60mg capsules at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). This contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat.
Treatment Supplies and Pricing
Our orlistat supplies are designed for convenient treatment periods. Choose from 42 capsules (2 weeks) at £16.89, 84 capsules (4 weeks) at £32.99, 168 capsules (8 weeks) at £63.99, or 252 capsules (12 weeks) at £95.99. Every order qualifies for 10% discount with code EDM10, and we offer the same discount to returning customers.
Each capsule should be taken three times daily with main meals containing fat - taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose.
Safety and Suitability Assessment
Our prescribers carefully assess each application to ensure orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances. The medication is not suitable for everyone - those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or have certain medical conditions cannot use orlistat. Your online consultation allows our prescribers to identify any contraindications or drug interactions.
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, particularly gastrointestinal effects when eating high-fat meals. Keeping your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal significantly reduces these effects while maximising the medication's benefits.
