Choose Your Prescription Orlistat Treatment Option
Prescription Orlistat Slimming Tablets - Clinical Weight Loss Support
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. Unlike stimulant-based treatments, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system to inhibit lipase enzymes, preventing fat absorption. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks three orlistat options: generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective), branded Xenical 120mg (same active ingredient), and Alli 60mg (lower-strength option). All 120mg products require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Prescription Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at significantly lower cost. Our competitive pricing includes 42 capsules (2 weeks) for £16.89, or just £15.20 with EDM10 discount code. Longer treatment courses offer better value: 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with EDM10 - saving you over £9 monthly compared to branded alternatives.
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. The medicine works best when daily fat intake stays around 30% of total calories, spread evenly across three meals. This approach maximises effectiveness while minimising gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with high-fat meals.
Xenical 120mg - Trusted Branded Treatment
Xenical, manufactured by Roche, contains identical active ingredient and dose as generic orlistat. Some patients prefer the branded option for consistency and familiarity. Xenical 120mg starts at £21.50 for 42 capsules (£19.35 with EDM10). While more expensive than generic alternatives, both products offer equivalent fat-blocking effects and identical clinical outcomes.
Choose Xenical if you prefer branded medication or have previously used this specific formulation successfully. The dosing, effectiveness, and side effect profile remain identical to generic orlistat 120mg.
Alli 60mg - Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. This lower-strength option may suit those preferring gentler treatment or experiencing side effects with 120mg doses. Alli 60mg costs £28.99 for 42 capsules (4-week supply), or £26.09 with EDM10 discount.
While less potent than 120mg options, Alli still requires the same dietary approach - reduced-calorie, lower-fat meals with regular physical activity. The lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal effects but correspondingly reduced fat-blocking capability.
Online Prescription Process - Simple and Confidential
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. The process typically takes 24 hours, with approved orders dispatched for next-day delivery.
Your prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment or prescription charges required. Our regulated online service provides faster access than NHS routes while maintaining identical safety standards through MHRA-regulated supply chains.
Managing Treatment Effectively
Orlistat works best alongside structured dietary changes. Limit fat intake to approximately 15g per meal, spread across three main meals daily. Higher fat content increases likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These effects indicate the medicine is working but can be minimised through careful diet management.
Take a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your final orlistat dose) as the medicine may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Regular physical activity enhances weight management outcomes alongside orlistat treatment.
