How Orlistat Works: The Science Behind Fat Blocking
How Orlistat Tablets Block Fat Absorption
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. When orlistat blocks these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your overall calorie intake from dietary fat.
At EverydayMeds, our orlistat 120mg capsules cost £32.99 for a 4-week supply, or just £29.69 with code EDM10. This 10% discount applies to every order - perfect for customers who reorder regularly.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Active Ingredient
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings. Our Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat is £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). That's over £9 saved per month when choosing generic orlistat.
Long-Term Savings with EDM10
Our EDM10 code works for every order, making regular treatment more affordable. For a 12-week orlistat supply, you'll pay £86.39 with EDM10 instead of £95.99 - saving £9.60 every three months. Xenical users save even more, paying £116.09 instead of £128.99 for 12 weeks.

Getting Started with Orlistat
Orlistat works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Effects vary between individuals, but the medication may help reduce dietary fat absorption as part of your structured weight management programme. Remember to take a multivitamin supplement at bedtime when using orlistat.
