Orlistat Prescription Weight Loss - How It Works
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. As a lipase inhibitor, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system to prevent fat-digesting enzymes from breaking down dietary fat. This unabsorbed fat then passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment Option
EverydayMeds offers three clinically proven options following prescriber assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, containing the same active ingredient as branded alternatives. Xenical 120mg offers the branded option at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. For those preferring a lower-strength starting point, Alli 60mg is available from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10.
Clinical Assessment and Prescribing Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough online assessments to determine if orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances. Treatment may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The confidential consultation covers your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals to ensure safe, appropriate prescribing.
Orlistat Dosing and Administration
Prescription-strength orlistat 120mg is taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Maximum three capsules per day. Our pack sizes provide convenient treatment durations: 42 capsules (2 weeks), 84 capsules (4 weeks), 168 capsules (8 weeks), and 252 capsules (12 weeks).
Managing Side Effects and Dietary Guidelines
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These effects can be significantly reduced by limiting fat intake to approximately 15g per meal and spreading daily fat consumption evenly across three main meals. Most patients find side effects decrease over time as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended.
