Compare Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Options
Understanding Your Prescription Weight Loss Options
When considering prescription weight loss medication in the UK, you have several clinically-proven options available through regulated online prescribing services. Orlistat-based treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat 120mg - Cost-Effective Generic Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value for prescription weight loss treatment. At £16.89 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) or £15.20 with code EDM10, it provides the same clinical effect as branded alternatives at a lower cost. Our 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with EDM10 - representing significant savings for longer-term treatment plans.
Xenical 120mg - Trusted Branded Treatment
Xenical, manufactured by Roche, contains identical orlistat 120mg to the generic version but comes with established brand recognition. Priced at £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10), some patients prefer the branded option. Our 12-week Xenical supply costs £128.99, or £116.09 with discount code EDM10.
Lower-Strength Alli 60mg Option
For those preferring a gentler starting point, Alli 60mg offers half the prescription dose strength. At £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10), this option may suit individuals seeking milder effects whilst building dietary confidence.
Professional Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough online clinical assessments to determine treatment suitability. You'll complete a confidential health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Prescriptions are issued where clinically appropriate, typically for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions.
How Orlistat-Based Treatments Work
These medications work locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. Approximately one third of fat consumed cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when combined with appropriate lifestyle changes.
