How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed in your digestive system. This prescription weight loss medication may help support your weight management goals when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Active Ingredient, Different Prices
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 at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.

Important Safety Information
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These effects can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g fat per meal). A daily multivitamin is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow your prescriber's guidance and seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent.
