How Orlistat Supports Your Weight Loss Goals
What Does Orlistat Do?
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down dietary fat, and when blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed by your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, potentially reducing your calorie intake from fat as part of a structured weight management programme.
Orlistat Treatment Options Available
We offer three clinically proven options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (£15.20 with EDM10). For those preferring the branded option, Xenical 120mg is available from £21.50 per fortnight (£19.35 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10). All treatments require taking one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
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 or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed through an individual clinical consultation with a UK-licensed prescriber who will review your medical history and current circumstances. The medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Getting Started with Online Prescription
Our streamlined process makes accessing orlistat treatment straightforward. Complete an online health questionnaire covering your medical history and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber will review your information and issue a prescription if clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required.
Maximising Results and Managing Side Effects
To optimise orlistat's effectiveness and minimise side effects, spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals with no more than approximately 15g fat per meal. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake - keeping meals lower in fat significantly reduces their likelihood. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Your prescriber will provide comprehensive guidance on diet and lifestyle modifications.
Value and Convenience
