Understanding Orlistat: Your Online Prescription Guide
What Does Orlistat Mean?
Orlistat is a prescription-only medicine (120mg strength) designed to support weight management in eligible adults. The medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Our Online Prescription Process Works
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues your prescription. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24 hours from consultation to dispatch.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Understanding Your Options
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings. Our 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for orlistat compared to £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for Xenical. We also stock Alli 60mg, a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat?
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or 28kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our online assessment determines your suitability based on individual health circumstances. Treatment must always accompany a structured weight management programme including dietary changes and increased physical activity.
