How Does Orlistat Work for Weight Loss Treatment?
What Makes Orlistat Different from Traditional Fat Burners
Unlike stimulant-based fat burners that affect your central nervous system, orlistat works locally in your digestive system as a lipase inhibitor. It blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed, allowing undigested fat to pass naturally through your body. This prescription weight loss treatment may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
UK Prescription Weight Loss Options Available
EverydayMeds offers three clinically proven options following online assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides cost-effective treatment from £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains identical active ingredients at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All options require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with BMI 30 kg/m² or above, or BMI 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our online consultation process allows qualified prescribers to assess your suitability without requiring a GP appointment. Treatment decisions are made individually based on your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals.
