Why Choose Prescription Weight Loss Treatment?
How Orlistat Works With Your Diet Plan
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. This prescription medication acts locally in your digestive system, helping reduce the calories absorbed from fatty foods. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, making dietary adherence crucial for both effectiveness and minimising side effects.
Essential Diet Guidelines For Orlistat Success
Your daily fat intake should be distributed evenly across three main meals, with no more than 15g fat per meal. This lower-fat approach significantly reduces gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising the medication's weight management support. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime helps maintain nutritional balance, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Orlistat 120mg - Generic Prescription Option
Our most cost-effective prescription weight loss option starts from £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10. Generic orlistat 120mg contains the same active ingredient as branded alternatives, offering identical clinical support at lower cost. Available in 4-week (£29.69), 8-week (£57.59), and 12-week (£86.39) supplies following prescriber approval. Each capsule is taken with main meals containing fat, up to three times daily.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Prescription Treatment
Xenical represents the original branded orlistat, manufactured by Roche with identical clinical effectiveness to generic versions. Priced from £19.35 for 2-week supply with EDM10 discount, some patients prefer this established brand. Available in all pack sizes up to 12-week supply (£116.09 with discount). Your UK-licensed prescriber will determine the most suitable option based on your individual clinical assessment and preferences.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides half the prescription strength at 60mg per capsule, offering a gentler introduction to orlistat therapy. Starting from £26.09 for 4-week supply with EDM10 code, this option may suit those preferring lower-dose treatment. Still requires the same dietary commitment and may contribute to weight management alongside lifestyle changes. All pack sizes available with next day delivery from our Leicester-based pharmacy.
Your Online Clinical Assessment Process
Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information to determine treatment suitability - BMI requirements typically include 30kg/m² or above, or 28kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. If approved, your prescription is dispensed immediately by our GPhC-registered pharmacy team and dispatched for next day delivery. The entire process replaces traditional GP visits whilst maintaining the same clinical standards.
