Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
How Prescription Weight Loss Medicine Works
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body. This prescription medicine acts locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Should You Choose?
All three products contain the active ingredient orlistat but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg (generic) offers the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg contains identical active ingredients but costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks. Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual needs.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our UK-licensed prescribers will assess your individual circumstances through a comprehensive online consultation. Treatment is only prescribed where clinically appropriate and must always be used alongside dietary and lifestyle changes.
