Is Orlistat a Prescription Drug in the UK?

Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the United Kingdom, requiring clinical assessment by a qualified prescriber before supply. Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient and require a valid prescription. EverydayMeds provides online consultations with UK-licensed prescribers, making prescription weight loss treatment accessible without a GP appointment.

How Prescription Orlistat Works

Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed in your gut. As a lipase inhibitor, it acts locally in the digestive system rather than affecting your brain or appetite. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.

Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Medicine, Different Price

Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent, containing identical active ingredients at the same dose. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat starts from £16.89 for 42 capsules (2 weeks), while Xenical costs £21.50 for the same supply. With code EDM10, you save 10% on either option: orlistat from £15.20 or Xenical from £19.35.

Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Packages

Choose from flexible treatment durations to suit your weight management goals. Orlistat 120mg packages include: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £16.89, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £32.99, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £63.99, and 12 weeks (252 capsules) £95.99. All prices reduce by 10% with EDM10 discount code. Xenical packages follow the same schedule with branded pricing.

Online Clinical Assessment Process

Getting prescription orlistat through EverydayMeds involves completing a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines if orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery.

Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Orlistat

Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is assessed individually, and not everyone will be eligible. Your prescriber will evaluate whether orlistat is appropriate for your specific circumstances.
