Why Choose Tab Orlistat 120mg for Weight Management?
How Tab Orlistat 120mg Supports Weight Loss
Tab orlistat 120mg works by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of the fat you eat. As a lipase inhibitor, it acts locally in the gut to prevent dietary fat from being digested and absorbed into the body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially reducing your calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Orlistat vs Generic Options
Tab orlistat 120mg is the prescription-strength generic version, offering the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at a more affordable price. Our 4-week supply costs just £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), compared to £42.99 for branded Xenical. Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses and work in exactly the same way, making generic orlistat an excellent value choice for long-term weight management.
Available Pack Sizes and Pricing
Choose from flexible supply options: 2-week supply (42 capsules) for £16.89, 4-week supply (84 capsules) for £32.99, 8-week supply (168 capsules) for £63.99, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £95.99.

Online Clinical Assessment Process
Order tab orlistat 120mg through our simple online process. Complete a medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your application and, if clinically appropriate, issue your prescription. The medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. Your prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.
Who May Be Suitable for Tab Orlistat 120mg
Tab orlistat 120mg 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 type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is assessed individually by our qualified prescribers, who will determine whether prescription weight loss treatment is appropriate for your circumstances.
Important Usage Guidelines
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or up to one hour after eating. If a meal contains no fat or is missed, skip that dose. Keep your daily fat intake to approximately 30% of total calories, spread evenly across three meals, to minimise side effects and maximise effectiveness. A daily multivitamin is recommended, taken at bedtime at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose.
Managing Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, tab orlistat 120mg may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and oily spotting. These effects are more likely with high-fat meals and typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Keeping meals to around 15g fat each significantly reduces side effect likelihood.
