How Orlistat Works for Weight Management
Understanding How Orlistat Works
Orlistat doesn't burn existing fat stored in your body. Instead, it works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. The medicine inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing them from breaking down fat from your meals. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme.
Prescription Orlistat Options Available
We offer three clinically-studied options following online assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at £38.69 for 4 weeks with discount. Both require prescription following clinical review by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Lower-Strength Alli 60mg Option
Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks (42 capsules) with EDM10 discount, it provides a lower-strength starting point. All options work best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity for optimal weight management support.

Treatment is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day tracked delivery across the UK.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat may help reduce dietary fat absorption when used as directed alongside lifestyle changes. Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
