Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Matters
How Orlistat Works: The Fat-Blocking Advantage
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unlike Mounjaro which affects hormones, orlistat acts locally in your gut. This proven mechanism means unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary fat. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10).
Orlistat vs Mounjaro: Different Mechanisms, Different Benefits
When comparing what's better between orlistat and Mounjaro, mechanism matters. Orlistat's fat-blocking action works with each meal containing fat - take one 120mg capsule three times daily. Mounjaro works through GLP-1 receptor activation affecting blood sugar and appetite. Orlistat offers immediate fat-blocking with each dose, proven over decades. Our 8-week supply (168 capsules) costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), giving you substantial savings.
Why Choose Orlistat's Proven Mechanism
Orlistat's lipase inhibition is well-understood - it blocks approximately one third of fat absorption per meal. This local action in your digestive system means minimal systemic effects. Available as generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, or Alli 60mg. Each works through the same fat-blocking mechanism, with 120mg providing full prescription strength.
