Understanding Orlistat: The Active Ingredient in Xenical
Orlistat is the proven active ingredient found in both generic orlistat capsules and the branded medication Xenical. This prescription-only weight loss treatment works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the digestive system, preventing approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Weight Loss Options at EverydayMeds
We offer three orlistat-based treatments to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option, with a 4-week supply (84 capsules) available for £32.99 or £29.69 with discount code EDM10. Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient and dose but comes as the original branded version for £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for the same 4-week supply. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at half the prescription dose.
How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Getting your prescription weight loss medication is straightforward with our regulated online service. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire, which covers your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your information and conduct a clinical assessment to determine if orlistat treatment is suitable for you. If approved, your prescription is issued and your medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester, then delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat 120mg (including Xenical) is typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by qualified healthcare professionals. Our prescribers will consider your medical history, current medications, and overall health before determining if this prescription weight loss treatment is appropriate for your circumstances.
Maximising Treatment Success
Orlistat works most effectively when you follow a structured weight management programme. This includes maintaining a reduced-calorie diet where no more than 30% of calories come from fat, spread evenly across three main meals. Keeping fat intake to approximately 15g per meal helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while allowing the medication to work optimally. Regular physical activity and behavioural support are also important components of successful long-term weight management.
Pricing and Savings
Our competitive pricing makes prescription weight loss treatment accessible. Generic orlistat offers excellent value with 12-week supplies (252 capsules) costing £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with code EDM10. This represents significant savings compared to multiple GP appointments and standard pharmacy prices. Xenical branded version costs £128.99 for 12 weeks (£116.09 with EDM10), while Alli 60mg 12-week supply is £129.99 (£116.99 with discount). All prices include the online prescription service, clinical assessment, and dispensing by our registered pharmacy.
