Fast-Acting Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
How Quickly Can Orlistat Support Weight Loss?
Orlistat works immediately by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed. However, individual responses vary significantly, and weight management results depend on adherence to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside regular physical activity. Clinical studies show that orlistat may help support weight loss when used as part of a structured weight management programme, but specific outcomes cannot be confirmed.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat Over Xenical?
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the identical active ingredient at the same dose. The clinical effect is equivalent - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: a 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for Xenical. That's nearly £9 saved per month. Many patients choose generic orlistat for the same prescription-strength support at better value.
Available Treatment Options
We stock three orlistat options to suit different preferences and budgets. Orlistat 120mg (generic) provides the most cost-effective prescription-strength treatment, starting from £15.20 for 2 weeks. Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect in branded form from £19.35 for 2 weeks. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £26.09 for 4 weeks - all prices with our EDM10 discount code.
Fast, Convenient Online Prescribing
Getting your prescription weight loss treatment is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire, which is reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispatched by our GPhC-registered pharmacy with next day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required. Treatment suitability depends on individual health circumstances and BMI requirements.
Maximising Your Weight Loss Results
Orlistat works best when combined with lifestyle changes. Keep meals low in fat (approximately 15g fat per meal) to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medication's effectiveness. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Most patients find that establishing a routine with consistent meal timing helps optimise results.
