Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management Support?
Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Options
EverydayMeds offers comprehensive prescription weight loss support through orlistat tablets, available as generic orlistat 120mg or branded Xenical 120mg. Both contain identical active ingredients and may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy provides convenient online access following clinical assessment by qualified UK prescribers.
How Orlistat Works for Weight Management
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. This lipase inhibitor acts locally in the gut, preventing fat-digesting enzymes from breaking down dietary fats. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat as part of your weight management programme. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat doesn't affect your brain chemistry.

Online Prescription Process
Our streamlined online clinical assessment makes accessing prescription weight loss treatment convenient. Complete your confidential health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. UK-licensed prescribers review your information and issue prescriptions where clinically appropriate. No separate GP appointment needed - prescription costs included in our transparent pricing.
Clinical Suitability and Assessment
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Individual clinical assessment determines treatment suitability. Our prescribers ensure orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances before issuing prescriptions. Treatment works best alongside structured dietary and lifestyle changes.
Managing Treatment Effectively
Successful orlistat treatment requires commitment to a lower-fat diet - approximately 15g fat per meal helps minimise side effects. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and reduce when dietary fat intake stays low. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime.
