Understanding Orlistat Requirements for Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss treatment that requires clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. The medication may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Before orlistat can be prescribed, a qualified healthcare professional must review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our online consultation process replaces the need for a GP appointment - simply complete our medical questionnaire and a UK-licensed prescriber will assess your suitability. The assessment considers your BMI, existing health conditions, previous weight loss attempts, and current medications to determine if orlistat is appropriate for you.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment Option
We offer three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option, starting from £29.69 for 4 weeks with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient and dose, available from £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All treatments work by inhibiting lipase enzymes to reduce dietary fat absorption.
Treatment Duration and Supply Options
Orlistat treatment typically starts with a 4-week supply to assess tolerance and response. We stock multiple supply durations: 2-week starter packs (42 capsules), 4-week supplies (84 capsules), 8-week supplies (168 capsules), and 12-week supplies (252 capsules). Longer supplies offer better value - our 12-week generic orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10, compared to £95.99 without discount. Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate supply duration based on your weight management goals.
Order Process and Delivery
Complete our online health questionnaire including your medical history, current medications, and weight details. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription if clinically appropriate. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester then dispenses your medication using MHRA-regulated supply chains. Orders are dispatched with next day tracked delivery in discreet packaging. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with dietary and lifestyle changes. Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise side effects while maximising effectiveness. Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects initially, particularly with high-fat meals. These typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Start your assessment today with code EDM10 for 10% off your order.
