Prescription Orlistat for Weight Loss - How It Works
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity, orlistat may help support weight management in eligible adults.
Our online prescription service provides access to three orlistat options: generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective), branded Xenical 120mg (identical clinical effect), and Alli 60mg (lower-strength option). All contain the same active ingredient but differ in strength and cost.
Orlistat Pricing and Pack Options
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value with 4-week supplies from £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Our 84-capsule packs provide one month's treatment at three capsules daily. Longer treatment courses offer better value - 12-week supplies cost £95.99 (£86.39 with discount code EDM10).
Branded Xenical 120mg contains identical orlistat but costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option whilst others choose generic orlistat for maximum savings. Both provide the same clinical effect as they contain identical active ingredients at the same 120mg strength.
Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength starting point at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). This half-strength option may suit those preferring a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Orlistat
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 who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess individual suitability through a comprehensive online consultation covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals.
Treatment suitability is assessed on an individual basis. Not everyone will be eligible - your prescriber will decide whether orlistat is appropriate based on your specific health circumstances and weight loss objectives.
Online Prescription Process
Our regulated online prescription service eliminates the need for GP appointments whilst maintaining clinical safety standards. Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate.
Once approved, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with tracked next day delivery. The prescription cost is included in our pricing - no additional consultation fees apply. Use discount code EDM10 for 10% off every order, whether you're a new or returning customer.
Managing Treatment and Side Effects
Orlistat works best when combined with meals containing no more than approximately 15g fat per serving. Higher fat meals increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These effects are signs the medication is working by preventing fat absorption.
Most patients find side effects reduce significantly when keeping dietary fat intake low. Taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels. Your prescriber provides detailed guidance on diet management and what to expect during treatment.
