Common Reasons Orlistat May Seem Less Effective
Several factors can affect orlistat's performance in supporting weight management. Dietary changes, portion increases, or reduced physical activity may impact results. Our UK-licensed prescribers can help identify why your treatment may have plateaued and suggest adjustments to optimise your weight loss plan.
How Long Should You Take Orlistat?
Treatment duration varies for each patient. Many people benefit from 12-week courses, with our 252-capsule packs priced at £86.39 for generic orlistat or £116.09 for Xenical (both with EDM10 discount). Your prescriber will assess whether continuing treatment remains appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Optimising Your Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Effectiveness depends on maintaining a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with no more than 15g fat per meal. High-fat meals not only reduce effectiveness but increase gastrointestinal side effects. Our prescribers can review your dietary approach during consultation.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses and offer equivalent clinical effects. Generic orlistat provides excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks, while Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period (both with EDM10). The choice often comes down to personal preference and budget considerations.
