Orlistat and Contraception: What You Need to Know
When considering prescription weight loss treatment, many patients ask about orlistat's interaction with contraceptive methods. Orlistat 120mg works locally in the digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. This mechanism may potentially affect the absorption of oral contraceptives, particularly if gastrointestinal side effects occur.
If you experience severe diarrhoea while taking orlistat, the effectiveness of oral contraceptives may be reduced. Your prescriber will discuss additional contraceptive precautions during your clinical assessment. This is why professional guidance is essential when starting any prescription weight loss treatment.
Prescription-Strength Orlistat Options Available
EverydayMeds supplies both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg following online clinical assessment. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with code EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effects.
Our 12-week orlistat supply at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) represents our best value option for committed weight management. All prescriptions include consultation fees and next-day delivery from our Leicester pharmacy.
How Online Prescription Weight Loss Works
Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications including contraception, and weight management goals. UK-licensed prescribers review every application, assessing suitability based on BMI, health conditions, and individual circumstances. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI over 30, or over 28 with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Once approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery. We also stock Alli 60mg (lower-strength orlistat) for those preferring a gentler starting option at £28.99 for 4 weeks.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. The medication works best when dietary fat intake is limited to approximately 15g per meal, which also helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Your prescriber will provide detailed dietary guidance alongside your prescription.
Fat-soluble vitamin supplementation is recommended during orlistat treatment, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last dose. This ensures optimal nutrition while the medication blocks fat absorption throughout the day.
