Why Choose Orlistat for 3-Month Weight Management?
Orlistat 3 Months Results - What to Expect
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription weight loss medicine that may help support your weight management goals over a 3-month period. When used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity, orlistat can help reduce the absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat. Individual responses vary, and results depend on your commitment to dietary and lifestyle changes throughout the treatment period.
Orlistat Pricing for 3-Month Treatment
Our 12-week supply options provide excellent value for structured weight management. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £95.99 for 252 capsules (12 weeks), reduced to £86.39 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg is available for £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £129.99 for 12 weeks (£116.99 with discount). All prices include the prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
How Orlistat Supports 3-Month Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Over a 3-month period, this mechanism may contribute to weight reduction when combined with a structured diet and exercise programme. The medicine works best when you keep each meal to around 15g of fat, which also helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. The main difference is cost - generic orlistat saves approximately £30 over a 3-month period compared to Xenical. Alli 60mg offers half the dose for those preferring a gentler starting point. Your prescriber will help determine which option is most suitable for your individual circumstances and weight management goals.
Safety During 3-Month Treatment
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, particularly gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These effects are more common with high-fat meals and typically reduce as you adapt your diet. Most patients find side effects manageable when following a lower-fat eating plan. We recommend taking a multivitamin supplement at bedtime to replace fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow your prescriber's guidance throughout your 3-month treatment period.
