How Orlistat Works - Fat Blocking, Not Appetite Control
Understanding Orlistat's Mechanism
Many people ask "does orlistat decrease your appetite?" but orlistat works differently from traditional appetite suppressants. Rather than affecting hunger signals in your brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through your body unabsorbed, reducing overall calorie intake from fat sources.
Private Prescription Access - Skip NHS Delays
Our private prescription service offers faster access to orlistat without NHS waiting lists or GP appointments. Following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, suitable patients can access orlistat 120mg from £15.20 (4-week supply £29.69 with EDM10), branded Xenical from £19.35 (4-week supply £38.69 with EDM10), or lower-strength Alli 60mg from £26.09 per pack.
Clinical Assessment Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your application and determines whether orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for your individual circumstances. This replaces the need for a face-to-face GP consultation whilst maintaining the same regulatory standards.
Three Treatment Options Available
Generic orlistat 120mg capsules offer the most cost-effective option, starting from £16.89 for a 2-week supply. Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient but as the original branded version from Roche. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative. All options work by the same fat-blocking mechanism rather than appetite suppression.
Expected Effects and Timeline
Orlistat may help reduce calorie absorption from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Individual responses vary, but the medication works immediately to block fat absorption from each meal containing fat. Most patients find keeping meals to approximately 15g fat helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising treatment effectiveness.
