Why Choose Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Online?
Prescription Orlistat vs Xenical - Clinical Weight Loss Support
Both prescription orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, working by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity following successful clinical assessment.
How Prescription Orlistat Capsules Work
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through the body. Unlike stimulant-based treatments, orlistat acts only in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts. The medication is designed to support weight reduction as part of a structured programme including dietary changes and increased activity levels.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers review each application individually through a comprehensive online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Orlistat may be 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. Following prescriber approval, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with tracked next day delivery.

Managing Treatment and Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These can be minimised by keeping each meal to approximately 15g fat or less. Common effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and urgent toilet needs. A daily multivitamin is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Your prescriber will provide full guidance on managing treatment effectively.
