Orlistat vs Mounjaro: How They Work Differently
When comparing orlistat with Mounjaro, it's important to understand their different mechanisms. Orlistat works locally in the gut by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works differently – it's an injectable medication that affects appetite regulation and blood sugar control.
Orlistat is available as 120mg prescription capsules (generic orlistat and branded Xenical) or 60mg Alli. Both treatments require clinical assessment, but orlistat offers a non-injectable option that may suit those who prefer oral medication.

Which Treatment Might Suit You Better?
Orlistat may be suitable if you prefer oral medication and want to focus on reducing fat absorption alongside a lower-fat diet. It works best when you can commit to keeping meals under 15g fat to minimise gastrointestinal effects. Mounjaro requires weekly injections and works through different pathways.
Your prescriber will assess which approach aligns with your health profile, lifestyle preferences and weight management goals. Both require ongoing dietary changes and lifestyle modifications for optimal results.
