Prescription Orlistat for Weight Loss UK
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss treatment that may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Available as generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, or lower-strength Alli 60mg, these treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability through an online consultation, with treatments dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
How Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment Works
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat acts directly in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts. The treatment is designed to support weight reduction alongside dietary and lifestyle changes, with effects varying between individuals.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Choose from three orlistat options to suit your needs and budget. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £15.20 for 2 weeks (42 capsules) with code EDM10, while branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect from £19.35 for 2 weeks. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £26.09 for 4 weeks. All prices include 10% discount with code EDM10 - apply at checkout for instant savings on every order.
Clinical Assessment Process
Starting your prescription weight loss treatment is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for you. Suitable candidates typically have a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health concerns like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. Keep meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) to maximise effectiveness and minimise side effects. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake - they reduce significantly when following a lower-fat diet.
