How Orlistat Works vs Existing Fat - Order Private UK
Does Orlistat Remove Fat Already Stored in Your Body?
Orlistat does not remove existing body fat that's already stored. Instead, it works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed during meals. The medication acts locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down fat from food. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body rather than being stored as additional body weight.
This mechanism means orlistat 120mg can support weight management as part of a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet by reducing calories absorbed from dietary fat. Generic orlistat starts from £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period.
Private Prescription Access - Faster Than NHS Route
Skip NHS waiting lists and access orlistat through private prescription online. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your health assessment typically within hours, not weeks. Following clinical approval, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with next-day tracked delivery across the UK.
Private prescription orlistat 120mg costs from £15.20 for 2 weeks supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10. Longer treatment periods offer better value - 12 weeks supply (252 capsules) costs £86.39 with discount applied.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Private Prescription Options
All three products work through the same mechanism but differ in strength and cost. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients - the key difference is price. Generic orlistat offers savings of approximately £9 per month compared to branded Xenical.
Alli 60mg provides half the dose at lower strength for those preferring a gentler starting option. Current private prescription pricing with EDM10 discount: Orlistat 84 capsules £29.69, Xenical 84 capsules £38.69, Alli 84 capsules £49.49.
Clinical Assessment Process - UK Licensed Prescribers
Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. UK-licensed prescribers review your information and determine clinical suitability for orlistat treatment. Orlistat may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Treatment must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your prescriber will provide guidance on managing potential gastrointestinal side effects, which are more common with high-fat meals but can be minimised through proper dietary approach.
