Orlistat Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication that may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Working locally in the digestive system, orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the body. Available as generic orlistat 120mg from £15.20 or branded Xenical 120mg from £19.35 for a 2-week supply with EDM10 discount.
How Orlistat Works for Weight Loss
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in the gut that break down dietary fat. By blocking these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed into the body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme. Individual responses vary, and orlistat works best when combined with a healthy, lower-fat diet containing no more than 15g fat per meal.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Choose Your Option
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses with the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, while branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, others choose generic orlistat for cost-effectiveness. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10 discount.
2-Week Orlistat Supply Options
Start with a 2-week supply to assess tolerance. Orlistat 120mg 42 capsules cost £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg 42 capsules cost £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). Each capsule is taken with main meals containing fat, up to three times daily. If well-tolerated, continue with longer supplies for better value - 12-week generic orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10.
Online Prescription Process
Complete an online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Treatment is typically suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is assessed individually through clinical review.
Managing Side Effects
Most orlistat side effects are gastrointestinal and linked to dietary fat intake. Common effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and flatulence with discharge. These can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat and are often signs the medication is working. Side effects typically reduce as your diet adapts to lower fat intake.
