Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management Support?
How Orlistat Tablets Support Weight Loss
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may help reduce your overall calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat acts locally in the gut and is designed to support sustainable weight management as part of a comprehensive lifestyle approach.
Orlistat Product Options at EverydayMeds
We supply three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg capsules offer the most cost-effective prescription-strength option, starting from just £29.69 for a 4-week supply with EDM10 discount. Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient and dose as generic orlistat but is manufactured by Roche - priced at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the prescription dose. All options require clinical assessment to ensure suitability for your individual circumstances.
Our Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting started with orlistat treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and confidential. Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your information and assess whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription will be dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery in discreet packaging. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours, with no need for a separate GP appointment.
Orlistat Pricing and Savings
We offer competitive pricing on all orlistat products with transparent, no-hidden-fees pricing. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. For longer-term treatment, our 12-week supply of 252 capsules costs £95.99, saving you money at just £86.39 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg is priced at £42.99 for 4 weeks, or £38.69 with discount. Every order qualifies for 10% off with EDM10 - this applies to both new and returning customers, helping you maintain consistent, affordable access to your weight management medication.
Managing Side Effects and Maximising Results
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. The most common include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These effects can be significantly minimised by keeping your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal and spreading your daily fat allowance evenly across three main meals. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt their diet. Taking a multivitamin at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your evening orlistat dose) is recommended, as the medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
