Choose Your Orlistat Weight Loss Treatment
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in the gut rather than affecting the brain.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. The clinical effect is the same - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers excellent value from £15.20 for 2 weeks with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs from £19.35 for 2 weeks. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the dose and is available from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Online Prescription Process
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your orlistat is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Important Safety Information
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects related to dietary fat intake. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces these effects. Seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes.
