Prescription Weight Loss Treatment - How It Works
Does Alli Weight Loss Work? Understanding Your Options
Alli contains orlistat 60mg and may help support weight management by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Working in your digestive system rather than affecting your brain, Alli can contribute to weight loss when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. For clinical-strength support, prescription orlistat 120mg offers double the dose at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10.
Prescription vs Over-Counter Options
While Alli 60mg provides weight management support, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg may offer enhanced clinical benefits. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 (4 weeks) with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical 120mg is £38.69 (4 weeks). Both require clinical assessment but offer stronger lipase inhibition. Following online consultation with our UK-licensed prescribers, you'll receive the most suitable option for your weight management goals.
How Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment Works
All orlistat products work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. The medication acts locally in your digestive system and works best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary sources as part of a structured weight management programme.

Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our streamlined service includes online health questionnaire completion, review by qualified UK-licensed prescribers, and prescription approval where clinically appropriate. Treatment is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next day delivery across the UK. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed. This regulated approach ensures you receive appropriate weight management support safely and conveniently.
Managing Side Effects and Maximising Results
Gastrointestinal side effects may occur, particularly with higher fat meals. Keeping dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces side effects whilst maximising treatment effectiveness. Most patients find side effects decrease as they adapt their diet. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended. Always follow guidance from your healthcare professional and report any severe or persistent side effects promptly.
