How Orlistat Differs From Appetite Suppressants
Orlistat: Fat Blocker vs Satiety Enhancer
Unlike satiety enhancers that work on brain chemistry to reduce appetite, orlistat is a lipase inhibitor that works locally in your digestive system. It blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, allowing undigested fat to pass naturally through your body. This prescription weight loss treatment may support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg Options
Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability for prescription-strength orlistat following an online consultation. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from just £15.20 for 2 weeks (42 capsules) with EDM10, normally £16.89. For 4-week supplies, choose 84 capsules at £29.69 with EDM10 (normally £32.99). Extended 12-week treatment costs £86.39 with EDM10 (normally £95.99 for 252 capsules).
Branded Xenical 120mg Available
Prefer branded medication? Xenical contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat but costs slightly more. Xenical 42 capsules cost £19.35 with EDM10 (normally £21.50), while 84 capsules are £38.69 with EDM10 (normally £42.99). Both options provide identical clinical effects - the choice depends on your preference for branded vs generic medication.
Lower-Strength Alli 60mg Option
Alli provides half the dose of prescription orlistat at 60mg per capsule. This lower-strength option costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10 (normally £28.99). While less potent than prescription strength, Alli may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting approach to fat-blocking weight loss support.
