How Orlistat Helps with Weight Loss
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down 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.
Prescription Orlistat Options Available
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at the same dose for £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All products require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
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, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment. Our online consultation process allows you to access prescription weight loss treatment without a GP appointment, subject to prescriber approval.
Fast Online Prescription Process
Getting started with prescription orlistat is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The prescription is included in the price, saving you time and money compared to traditional GP visits.
Maximising Results with Orlistat
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. Keep your daily fat intake to approximately 30% of total calories, spread evenly across three main meals. This typically means around 15g of fat per meal, which helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while allowing the medication to work effectively. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime to ensure optimal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Convenient Supply Options
Choose from flexible supply options to suit your treatment plan. Our 2-week starter packs (42 capsules) allow you to try orlistat before committing to longer supplies. Popular 4-week supplies (84 capsules) provide good value, while 8-week (168 capsules) and 12-week supplies (252 capsules) offer maximum convenience and savings. All orders qualify for 10% off with code EDM10, and we provide free next day delivery on orders over £40.
