Why Choose Prescription Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Prescription Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. This prescription weight loss medication acts locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat Treatment Options at EverydayMeds
We offer both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Generic orlistat provides excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All require clinical assessment to determine suitability.
Your Online Prescription Journey
Our streamlined process begins with completing a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your information to assess whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Prescription orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our qualified prescribers, considering your medical history and current circumstances. Not everyone will be eligible - final prescribing decisions rest with our UK-licensed healthcare professionals following thorough assessment.
Managing Your Orlistat Experience
Orlistat works most effectively when dietary fat intake is kept low - approximately 15g fat per meal helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medication's benefits. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as their diet adapts. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) is recommended to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake. Regular monitoring with your prescriber ensures optimal treatment outcomes.
