Choose Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Understanding Orlistat for Weight Loss
Orlistat is a clinically studied prescription weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Available as generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, and lower-strength Alli 60mg, these treatments may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option, starting from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules). A 4-week supply costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with discount code EDM10. For those preferring branded medication, Xenical 120mg is available from £21.50 for 2 weeks, with 4-week supplies at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 for 4 weeks.
How Online Prescribing Works
Our regulated online consultation process replaces traditional GP appointments. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI details. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester, with next day delivery available across the UK.
Clinical Assessment and Eligibility
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or BMI 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Individual clinical assessment determines treatment appropriateness, with prescribing decisions made by qualified healthcare professionals based on your specific circumstances.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Prescription orlistat works most effectively when combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity. The medication may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat while you develop healthier eating patterns. Keeping meal fat content low minimises potential gastrointestinal side effects and maximises treatment effectiveness. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat eating plan.
