Why Choose Orlistat for Prescription Weight Loss?
How Good Is Orlistat for Weight Loss?
Orlistat is a clinically studied prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat works locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce your calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription 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 or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our online clinical consultation. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals before deciding if orlistat is appropriate for you.

Important Safety Information
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects linked to dietary fat intake. These can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal). Always follow your prescriber's guidance and read the patient information leaflet. Orlistat is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those under 18 years. Order your prescription orlistat today with fast, discreet UK delivery.
