How Orlistat Supports Weight Loss
Orlistat works in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed, allowing it to pass naturally through your body. When used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity, orlistat may help support weight management in suitable adults.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings. Our 4-week generic orlistat supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Choose based on your preference for branded or generic medication.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. A UK-licensed prescriber will assess your suitability through our online clinical assessment. Treatment must be combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity for best results.
Online Prescription Process
Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Managing Side Effects
Most orlistat side effects are gastrointestinal and related to dietary fat intake. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise oily stools, abdominal discomfort, or urgent bowel movements. These effects often improve as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Take a multivitamin at bedtime to replace fat-soluble vitamins. Contact a healthcare professional if side effects are severe.
