Why Choose Orlistat 120mg for Weight Management?
How Orlistat 120mg Works for Weight Loss
Orlistat 120mg capsules work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in the gut rather than affecting the brain, making it a clinically studied option for prescription weight loss treatment in the UK.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, offering the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat provides significant savings whilst maintaining the same weight management support. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 for orlistat compared to £38.69 for Xenical (with EDM10 discount), saving you approximately £9 per month without compromising on quality.

Accessing orlistat 120mg online is straightforward through our regulated prescription service.

A qualified UK-licensed prescriber will review your assessment to determine if orlistat is clinically appropriate for your weight management goals. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with discreet, tracked delivery.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our prescribers, considering your medical history and current health status. The medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity as part of a structured weight management programme.
Managing Side Effects and Maximising Results
Most side effects with orlistat are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Keeping meals to approximately 15g of fat each can significantly reduce the likelihood of side effects such as oily stools or urgent bowel movements. These effects are actually a sign the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
