What Are Orlistat Tablets and How Do They Work?
Orlistat tablets are prescription-only weight loss capsules containing the active ingredient orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that works locally in the digestive system. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, potentially reducing your overall calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Three Orlistat Options Available at EverydayMeds
We stock three orlistat treatments to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic Orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option, starting from just £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10. For those preferring the branded version, Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at the same strength, priced from £19.35 with EDM10. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at half the prescription dose. All three options require clinical assessment, with 120mg products being prescription-only medicines.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment?
Orlistat may be suitable for adults aged 18 or over with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those under 18 years.

Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting orlistat through EverydayMeds is straightforward and regulated. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues a private prescription. Your treatment is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with next-day delivery across the UK. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours, with prescription costs included in our transparent pricing.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. We recommend keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects, which occur when unabsorbed fat passes through your system. Taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat diet, and many report that orlistat helps them make lasting dietary changes by providing immediate feedback on fat intake.
