Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Orlistat Tablets Work for Weight Loss
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed in your digestive system. The active ingredient inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. This mechanism can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system and is not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Is Right for You?
Generic orlistat 120mg capsules offer the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient but costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10) as the branded version. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). Our UK-licensed prescribers will assess which strength may be most suitable based on your individual circumstances and weight management goals.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. Our UK-licensed prescribers review each application individually to determine suitability. Treatment may be appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery.
Pricing and Pack Sizes
Save money with our competitive pricing and 10% discount code EDM10. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: 12-week supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Both options provide the same clinical effect as they contain identical 120mg orlistat doses. Alli 60mg 12-week packs cost £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10) for those preferring lower-strength treatment. All packs include free tracked delivery and prescription costs - no separate GP fees required.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with dietary and lifestyle changes. Keep meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medicine's effectiveness. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Consider a daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Our patient information leaflets provide comprehensive guidance on diet and lifestyle support during treatment.
