Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Orlistat Supports Weight Loss
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Three Orlistat Options Available
We stock three orlistat treatments to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower dose, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All three products require an online clinical assessment to determine suitability.
Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward through our regulated online service. Complete a confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is assessed individually through our clinical consultation process. Treatment must always be combined with a structured approach to diet and exercise for optimal results.
Managing Treatment Effectively
To maximise benefits and minimise side effects, keep your daily fat intake to approximately 30% of calories, spread across three main meals. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat content - lower fat meals typically result in fewer side effects. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, or skip the dose if the meal contains no fat. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
