Why Choose Prescription Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Prescription Orlistat Works
Orlistat is a prescription weight loss medication that works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may help reduce your calorie intake from fat as part of a structured weight management programme alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Option?
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £29.69 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, containing the same active ingredient as branded Xenical at £38.69 for 4 weeks. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All three products work through the same mechanism but at different strengths.
Online Prescription Process
Getting prescription orlistat through our service is straightforward. Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications and BMI information. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber will review your assessment and issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery across the UK.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat
Orlistat 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. Individual suitability is assessed through clinical consultation, as not everyone will be eligible for treatment. Your prescriber will determine whether orlistat is appropriate for your specific circumstances.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works most effectively when combined with a lower-fat diet containing no more than 30% of calories from fat. This helps minimise potential gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising the medication's weight management support. Most patients find that keeping meals to approximately 15g of fat helps optimise results. A daily multivitamin is recommended to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake.
