Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription Orlistat Capsules for Weight Management
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike stimulant-based treatments, orlistat acts locally in the digestive system to inhibit lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers the same fat-blocking action as branded Xenical at significantly lower prices. Orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 with EDM10, saving you approximately £9 per month. Both require the same prescription process and clinical assessment.

Online Clinical Assessment Process
Accessing prescription orlistat through EverydayMeds eliminates GP waiting times whilst maintaining clinical safety.

A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability based on clinical guidelines. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy team. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol. Treatment suitability depends on individual health circumstances and requires prescriber assessment. You must be committed to following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet as orlistat works best when dietary fat intake is controlled.
