Which Weight Loss Treatment Should You Choose?
Orlistat vs Mounjaro: How They Work Differently
Orlistat and Mounjaro are both prescription weight loss treatments but work through completely different mechanisms. Orlistat acts locally in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works systemically as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, affecting appetite regulation and blood sugar control. Both require clinical assessment and prescription by a UK-licensed healthcare professional.

Mounjaro Stock Status and Considerations
Mounjaro is available through our online prescription service, subject to clinical assessment and prescriber approval. This injectable treatment requires different administration compared to orlistat capsules and has distinct eligibility criteria. Your prescriber will determine which treatment may be more suitable based on your individual health profile, medical history, and weight management goals during the online consultation process.
Comparing Treatment Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions, when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. It's taken as one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat (maximum 3 capsules daily). Mounjaro has different eligibility criteria and administration requirements. Both treatments require ongoing commitment to dietary and lifestyle changes for optimal results. Individual suitability depends on comprehensive clinical assessment.
