Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Available as generic orlistat 120mg capsules or branded Xenical 120mg, both contain the same active ingredient and provide identical clinical effects when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
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. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat as part of your structured weight management programme. The medication is designed to support weight loss efforts rather than replace dietary and lifestyle changes.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Choose Your Option
Our generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical provides the same clinical effect at £42.99 per month (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require the same prescription process and provide identical weight management support. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg contains half the dose and is available from £49.49 for an 8-week supply with EDM10 discount.
Online Prescription Process
Access prescription orlistat through our streamlined online consultation service. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescribers will review your information and determine whether orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. If suitable, your prescription will be dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with tracked, next day delivery.
Treatment Suitability
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 or high blood pressure. Your prescriber will assess your individual suitability during the clinical review process. Treatment requires commitment to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to maximise effectiveness and minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Managing Your Treatment
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or skip doses when meals are fat-free. Keep dietary fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to reduce the likelihood of side effects. Most patients find that gastrointestinal effects diminish as their diet adapts to lower fat content. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake.
