Fast-Acting Fat Absorption Control - Order Today
How Orlistat Works to Control Fat Absorption
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This prescription medicine blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat acts directly in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Clinical Strength
Our prescription-strength orlistat 120mg capsules may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Take one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Available in convenient pack sizes: 42 capsules (2 weeks) £16.89, 84 capsules (4 weeks) £32.99, 168 capsules (8 weeks) £63.99, or 252 capsules (12 weeks) £95.99. Save 10% on every order with code EDM10.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Active Ingredient
Xenical 120mg contains identical orlistat to our generic version but costs more as the branded option. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 with EDM10 - saving you approximately £9 monthly. Both provide the same clinical effect, so many patients choose generic orlistat for better value whilst maintaining the same fat-blocking action.
Lower-Strength Alli 60mg Option
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. Available as 42 capsules (4 weeks) £26.09 with EDM10, 84 capsules (8 weeks) £49.49 with EDM10, or 252 capsules (12 weeks) £116.99 with EDM10. Some patients prefer starting with the lower-strength option before progressing to prescription strength.
UK Online Prescription Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Following prescriber approval, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with next-day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach including a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to maximise effectiveness and minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Consider taking a multivitamin at bedtime as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
