How Prescription Weight Loss Tablets Work For You
Does Alli Really Work for Weight Loss?
Alli contains orlistat 60mg, a clinically studied active ingredient that works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, allowing undigested fat to pass naturally through your body. Alli may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Strength Orlistat - Maximum Clinical Effect
For stronger weight loss support, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg offers double the potency of Alli. Our generic orlistat 120mg starts from just £15.20 for a 2-week supply with code EDM10, whilst branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £19.35. Both require online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers but offer enhanced fat blocking compared to lower-strength alternatives.
Complete Weight Loss Treatment Options
Choose from three clinically equivalent options based on your preferences and budget. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 discount. Xenical 120mg provides the trusted Roche-branded option at £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg requires no prescription at £26.09 for 4 weeks, making it accessible for those preferring lower-strength treatment.

Clinical Evidence and Real Results
Orlistat is backed by extensive clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness as a weight management tool. The medication works by inhibiting pancreatic and gastric lipases, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Individual results vary, but orlistat may contribute to meaningful weight reduction when combined with lifestyle modifications including reduced-calorie nutrition and regular exercise.
Managing Treatment Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal in nature. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Side effects are directly related to dietary fat intake - keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces adverse effects. Most patients find side effects decrease over time as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern.
