Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Weight Loss Medicine Online
Xenical and orlistat are prescription-only weight loss medicines that work by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat. These clinically studied treatments may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Following an online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, suitable patients can access these prescription treatments without needing a separate GP appointment.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Which Should You Choose?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, offering the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat provides excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks with code EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings, whilst others prefer the branded option. Your prescriber can help you decide which is most suitable for your needs.

How Orlistat Works for Weight Loss
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of consumed fat from being absorbed, allowing it to pass naturally through the body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat targets fat absorption in the gut. The medicine works best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g of fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Who May Be Suitable for Treatment
Prescription orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment must always be combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity for optimal results.
