Why Choose Prescription Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Orlistat 120mg Weight Loss Capsules Work
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This prevents approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same strength. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same clinical effect. Our 4-week supply of orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Order today to start your prescription weight loss programme at the best UK prices.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults 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 or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our qualified prescribers who will determine whether orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances. Start your clinical assessment today.
Supporting Your Weight Loss Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to diet and lifestyle. Keep your daily fat intake to approximately 30% of total calories, spread evenly across three main meals. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake. Most patients find side effects reduce significantly when following a lower-fat eating plan.
