Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Weight Loss Options: Orlistat, Xenical & Alternatives
EverydayMeds provides regulated access to prescription weight loss treatments through our GPhC-registered online pharmacy. Following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, eligible adults may access orlistat 120mg (generic), Xenical 120mg (branded), or Alli 60mg as part of a structured weight management programme. These treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and may help support weight loss when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Clinical Equivalence, Cost Difference
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings while maintaining the same fat-blocking mechanism. Our 4-week orlistat supply costs £29.69 (with EDM10), compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical, saving you approximately £9 per month. Both options require the same online clinical assessment and are dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy.

UK-licensed prescribers review each application individually, assessing suitability based on clinical guidelines. Where appropriate, prescriptions are issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy team. Treatment is subject to clinical approval and may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions.

How Prescription Weight Loss Tablets Work
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system as a lipase inhibitor, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fatty foods. This mechanism works best when combined with a lower-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal) and regular physical activity. Individual responses vary, and the treatment is designed to support rather than replace healthy lifestyle changes. Most patients find side effects manageable when dietary fat intake remains moderate.
