Understanding Your Weight Management Prescription Options
How Orlistat and Mounjaro Work Differently
Orlistat and Mounjaro operate through completely different mechanisms for weight management. Orlistat works locally in the digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a weekly injection that acts on blood sugar regulation and appetite control through GLP-1 receptor pathways.
Online Prescription Process for Both Treatments
Both orlistat and Mounjaro require prescription following clinical assessment. Our online consultation process makes accessing either treatment straightforward: complete our health questionnaire, qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information, prescription issued if clinically appropriate, then dispensed and dispatched from our GPhC-registered pharmacy. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.
Orlistat Options and Pricing at EverydayMeds
We offer three orlistat formulations: generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective), branded Xenical 120mg (identical clinical effect), and Alli 60mg (lower-strength option). Orlistat 120mg 4-week supply costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg 4-week supply is £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. Both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - the key difference is cost.
Suitability Assessment for Weight Management Prescriptions
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Mounjaro eligibility follows different clinical criteria. Our prescribers assess individual suitability based on medical history, current medications, and health circumstances. Treatment decisions are made by qualified healthcare professionals following comprehensive review.
