Optimising Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
How to Maximise Orlistat Effectiveness
To help orlistat work more effectively, timing and diet optimisation are key. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat - immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or it contains no fat, skip that dose. The medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, so keeping meals to around 15g fat each helps minimise side effects while maximising benefits.
UK Prescription Options and Pricing
We offer three prescription weight loss options following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £15.20 per 2-week supply with EDM10, while branded Xenical 120mg costs £19.35 for the same period. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £26.09 per 4-week supply. All contain the same active ingredient that may help support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers review your health questionnaire to determine treatment suitability. Orlistat may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The online consultation replaces a GP visit, with prescription included in the price. Assessment typically completed within hours, not weeks.
Comparing Your Treatment Options
Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - the key difference is cost. A 12-week supply of generic costs £86.39 with EDM10 versus £116.09 for branded Xenical, saving over £29. Alli 60mg at half-strength may suit those preferring a gentler starting approach. All options work by inhibiting lipase enzymes to reduce dietary fat absorption.
