How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. As a lipase inhibitor, it acts locally in your digestive system to prevent fat absorption, with the unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Choose What's Right for You
We offer three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect as the branded option at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient, with prescription-strength versions requiring clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Combining with Metformin for Weight Management
Some patients taking metformin for type 2 diabetes may also be prescribed orlistat as part of their weight management plan. Orlistat can support weight reduction alongside dietary changes, which may complement metformin therapy. Both medications work through different mechanisms - metformin helps regulate blood sugar whilst orlistat reduces dietary fat absorption. Your prescriber will assess whether this combination is appropriate for your individual circumstances during your online clinical consultation.
