Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Options & Pricing
What to Eat When Taking Xenical or Orlistat
When taking prescription weight loss medication like Xenical or Orlistat 120mg, your diet plays a crucial role in both effectiveness and managing side effects. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, making it essential to follow a reduced-calorie, lower-fat eating plan. Each meal should contain no more than 15g of fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while supporting weight management goals.
Low-Fat Meal Planning Guidelines
Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, ensuring no single meal exceeds approximately 15g of fat. Focus on lean proteins like chicken breast, white fish, and turkey, paired with plenty of vegetables and moderate portions of complex carbohydrates. Avoid high-fat foods such as fried items, creamy sauces, nuts, and fatty meats, as these can trigger uncomfortable side effects including oily stools and urgent bowel movements.
UK Prescription Weight Loss Options
EverydayMeds supplies three prescription weight loss treatments following online clinical assessment. Generic Orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £38.69 for 4 weeks. For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg is available at £26.09 for 4 weeks. All treatments require adherence to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
How Orlistat and Xenical Support Weight Management
These prescription medications work locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When taken with each main meal, they may help reduce the absorption of approximately one third of consumed fat, which passes naturally through the body. This mechanism can support weight management when combined with appropriate dietary changes and regular exercise as part of a structured programme.
