Orlistat 100mg for Weight Management UK
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. Available as 120mg capsules (orlistat generic and branded Xenical), this clinically studied treatment may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our online prescription service provides convenient access following clinical assessment by UK-licensed healthcare professionals.
How Orlistat Works for Weight Loss
Orlistat acts locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through the body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme. Orlistat does not affect carbohydrates, protein, or act on the brain like appetite suppressants.

Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our UK-licensed prescribers through a confidential online consultation. Not everyone will be eligible - factors including medical history, current medications, and individual health circumstances determine appropriateness for treatment.
Online Prescription Process
Getting started is straightforward: complete our secure online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and determines if orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Managing Side Effects and Optimising Treatment
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These can be significantly minimised by keeping dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) and spreading fat intake evenly across three main meals. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. A daily multivitamin is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
