How to Get Your Orlistat Prescription Online
How Orlistat Works for Weight Management
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut and is not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts.
Online Prescription Process - Simple Steps
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our clinical questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues your prescription. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Choose Your Option
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst providing the same clinical effect. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 for orlistat or £38.69 for Xenical (with EDM10 code), saving you approximately £9 per month by choosing generic. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value.
Treatment Packages and Pricing
We offer flexible treatment durations to suit your weight management plan. Our orlistat 120mg starts at £15.20 for 2 weeks (42 capsules), £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules), £57.59 for 8 weeks (168 capsules), or £86.39 for 12 weeks (252 capsules) with EDM10 discount. Xenical pricing begins at £19.35 for 2 weeks, rising to £116.09 for 12 weeks. All prices include your online prescription consultation - no additional GP fees required.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Your prescriber will assess your individual circumstances during the online consultation. Treatment suitability depends on your medical history, current medications, and commitment to dietary changes alongside the medication.
What to Expect When Taking Orlistat
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects initially - these are signs the medication is working by blocking fat absorption. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces side effects. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
