How Orlistat Differs from Ozempic
Orlistat and Ozempic work through completely different mechanisms for weight management. Orlistat 120mg works locally in the digestive system by blocking lipase enzymes, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body. Ozempic (semaglutide) is an injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist that affects appetite and blood sugar regulation through brain signalling pathways.
Orlistat Treatment Options at EverydayMeds
We offer three orlistat formulations following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg, the branded version, costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
Why Choose Orlistat Over Injectable Options
Orlistat capsules may be suitable for adults who prefer oral medication over injections. Treatment can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers determines suitability based on BMI and individual health circumstances. No face-to-face GP appointment required.

Treatment Support and Monitoring
Orlistat works best when dietary fat intake stays low - approximately 15g fat per meal helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime supports fat-soluble vitamin absorption. Our 12-week supplies at £95.99 for generic orlistat (£86.39 with EDM10) provide continuity for established treatment plans.
