Why Choose Orlistat Pills for Weight Management?
How Orlistat Pills Work for Weight Loss
Orlistat pills work differently from other weight loss treatments. Rather than acting on the brain like appetite suppressants, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes. This prevents approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, helping to reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Treatment Options Available
We stock three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg capsules offer the most cost-effective prescription treatment, starting from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (£15.20 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg is the branded version containing the same active ingredient, priced from £21.50 for 2 weeks. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription strength, starting from £28.99 for 4 weeks. All three products may help support weight management when used as part of a comprehensive weight loss programme.
Online Prescription Process
Getting orlistat pills online is straightforward through our regulated service. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your information and issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. Treatment is typically suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.
Pack Sizes and Pricing
Choose from flexible pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. For orlistat 120mg: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £16.89, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £32.99, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £63.99, or 12 weeks (252 capsules) £95.99. Xenical 120mg follows similar sizing at premium pricing. All orders qualify for 10% discount with code EDM10, making long-term treatment more affordable. Calculate your savings across extended treatment periods when planning your weight management journey.
Managing Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces the likelihood and severity of side effects. Most patients find side effects decrease as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. We recommend taking a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime to replace fat-soluble vitamins. Seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent.
