How Does Orlistat Work to Support Weight Management?
How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. When you take orlistat 120mg capsules (generic or Xenical), approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested and passes naturally through your body. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
All orlistat 120mg products require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. If clinically appropriate, your prescription will be issued and your orlistat dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. The entire process typically takes 24 hours with next day delivery available. Remember to apply discount code EDM10 for 10% off your order total.
Which Orlistat Product Should You Choose?
Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers savings of approximately £9 per month compared to branded Xenical with code EDM10. Alli 60mg provides half the dose for those preferring lower-strength treatment. All three products work by the same mechanism of blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Your prescriber will help determine the most suitable option following clinical assessment.
Maximising Results While Managing Side Effects
Orlistat works best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat per meal. Higher fat intake significantly increases gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, urgent bowel movements, and fatty discharge. These side effects indicate the medicine is working by preventing fat absorption. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. Always take orlistat exactly as prescribed - typically one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
