Why Choose Prescription Orlistat for Weight Management?
How 120mg Orlistat Capsules Support Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed into your body. This prescription-strength medication acts locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that normally break down dietary fats. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may help reduce your overall calorie intake when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same weight management support. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you approximately £9 monthly whilst receiving identical clinical benefits from your prescription weight loss treatment.

Your Online Prescription Process
Access prescription orlistat through our regulated online service without visiting your GP. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability based on clinical guidelines. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester, with tracked next day delivery to your address in discreet packaging.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol. Treatment decisions follow individual clinical assessment by qualified prescribers who evaluate your specific circumstances, medical history, and weight management needs. This ensures safe, appropriate prescribing in line with UK clinical guidelines.
Maximising Your Weight Loss Results
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. Distribute your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, keeping each meal to approximately 15g of fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity are essential components - orlistat supports rather than replaces these lifestyle changes. Consider a daily multivitamin taken at bedtime to maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels.
