Understanding Orlistat Capsules and Your Ongoing Savings
What Orlistat Capsules Do and How You Save
Orlistat capsules are prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Available as generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, or lower-strength Alli 60mg, these capsules support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

How Orlistat Capsules Work in Your Body
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of the fat from meals being absorbed, so it passes naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect your brain, orlistat acts only in your gut. The medication works best when each meal contains no more than 15g fat, which also helps minimise potential gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools or urgent bowel movements.
Prescription Process for Orlistat Capsules
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment. Our online consultation involves completing a health questionnaire reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Alli 60mg has different requirements as a lower-strength option. All products are dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next-day delivery available.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing equivalent clinical effects. The main difference is price - generic orlistat offers significant savings versus Xenical while delivering the same fat-blocking action. Alli 60mg provides half the prescription strength, suitable for those preferring to start with lower-dose treatment. Your prescriber will help determine which option suits your weight management goals and medical history.
Managing Your Orlistat Treatment Long-Term
Successful weight management with orlistat requires ongoing commitment to a lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Take one capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat, up to one hour after eating. If a meal contains no fat or you skip a meal, you can omit that dose. Most patients benefit from 12-week treatment cycles, making our repeat order discount particularly valuable. Consider taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
