How Much Fat Does Orlistat 120mg Block?
Orlistat 120mg blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume with each meal. This prescription-strength medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing roughly 30% of fat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, helping reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription Benefits vs NHS Route
Our private prescription service eliminates NHS waiting lists and GP appointment delays. Complete an online clinical assessment reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers, with prescriptions issued where clinically appropriate. Generic orlistat 120mg costs just £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical 120mg is £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and clinical effects.
Clinical Assessment Process
Following your online consultation, our qualified UK prescribers assess your BMI, medical history, and suitability for orlistat treatment. The medication may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. All prescribing decisions follow MHRA guidelines and individual clinical circumstances.
Orlistat Dosing and Fat Absorption
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat - typically three times daily. Each dose blocks approximately one third of fat from that specific meal, making it essential to distribute your daily fat intake evenly across meals. Keep meals to roughly 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising the medication's effectiveness.
Available Treatment Options
Choose from generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective), branded Xenical 120mg (identical clinical effect), or lower-strength Alli 60mg. Our 12-week orlistat supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), providing excellent value compared to multiple GP visits and NHS prescription charges. All medications are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy with discreet next-day delivery.
Comprehensive Weight Management Support
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured weight management programme including reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Our prescribers provide guidance on maintaining daily fat intake around 30% of calories to optimise results whilst minimising side effects. Consider a daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime to support fat-soluble vitamin levels.
