Buy Orlistat Online - Clinical Assessment Required
Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Options
Orlistat is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. While some people search for "orlistat injections", orlistat is actually available as oral capsules, not injections. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy offers three options following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Orlistat 120mg - Generic Option
Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective prescription weight loss treatment. Available from £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with EDM10), this clinically proven medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Each capsule contains 120mg orlistat and should be taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Xenical is the branded version of orlistat, manufactured by Roche. It contains exactly the same active ingredient as generic orlistat at the same 120mg dose. Xenical is available from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option, while others choose generic orlistat for better value - both are clinically equivalent.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works directly in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
To buy orlistat online, you'll complete a medical questionnaire reviewed by our UK-licensed prescribers. This covers your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. If clinically appropriate, a prescription will be issued and your medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.

We offer flexible pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. Orlistat 120mg: 2 weeks £15.20, 4 weeks £29.69, 8 weeks £57.59, 12 weeks £86.39 (all with EDM10). Xenical 120mg: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, 12 weeks £116.09 (with EDM10). Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order.
