Choose Your Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat 120mg for Weight Loss - How It Works
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Choose generic orlistat to save approximately £9 per month, or select Xenical if you prefer the branded option. Both require the same clinical assessment and work identically for weight management support.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or adults with a BMI of 28kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is assessed through our online clinical consultation, reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers. A prescription will only be issued where clinically appropriate following individual assessment of your medical history and current health status.
Online Prescription Process
Access prescription orlistat through our regulated online service without visiting your GP. Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available. The prescription cost is included - no separate consultation fees.
What to Expect During Treatment
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. For best results and to minimise gastrointestinal side effects, keep your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake.
