Why Choose Orlistat for Low Carb Diet Support?
Orlistat and Low Carb Diets: A Comprehensive Approach
Many people following low carb diets wonder whether prescription weight loss medication can provide additional support. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, which can complement a low carbohydrate eating approach. While low carb diets focus on reducing carbohydrate intake, orlistat specifically targets fat absorption, potentially offering dual benefits when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet plan.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat 120mg capsules work locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you consume passes through your body unabsorbed. When combined with carbohydrate restriction, this dual approach may help support your weight management goals. Our generic orlistat costs just £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10, while branded Xenical 120mg is £38.69 for the same period.
Prescription Options Available
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective prescription option, with 12-week supplies available for £86.39 (252 capsules) after EDM10 discount. Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient but as the original branded version, priced at £116.09 for 12 weeks with discount. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the prescription dose at £116.99 for 12 weeks with EDM10.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward through our regulated online service. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and prescribes orlistat where clinically appropriate. The entire process typically takes 24 hours, with next-day delivery available across the UK from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
Combining Orlistat with Your Low Carb Plan
When using orlistat alongside a low carb diet, it's important to keep individual meals low in fat content to minimise side effects. Aim for no more than 15g fat per meal, spread across three main meals daily. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, or skip the dose if a meal contains no fat. This approach helps maximise the benefits while reducing the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects that can occur with higher fat intake.
