Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Orlistat with Menu Plan Support
Prescription orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat menu plan. Our structured approach helps you understand which foods work best with orlistat treatment, minimising side effects whilst supporting your weight loss goals.
Orlistat 120mg - Generic Prescription Option
Generic orlistat 120mg capsules offer the most cost-effective prescription weight loss treatment. Available from £15.20 for 2 weeks (42 capsules) with EDM10 discount. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Works best when meals contain no more than 15g fat each.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Prescription Treatment
Xenical contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat at identical strength. Some patients prefer the branded option from Roche. Available from £19.35 for 2 weeks (42 capsules) with EDM10. Clinically equivalent to generic orlistat but at a premium price point.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides half the strength of prescription orlistat, offering a gentler introduction to lipase inhibitor treatment. Available from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. May be suitable for those preferring a lower-strength starting point alongside their menu planning.
Menu Planning for Orlistat Success
Effective orlistat treatment requires careful meal planning. Each meal should contain no more than 15g fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Focus on lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. High-fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of side effects including oily stools and urgent bowel movements.
