Why Choose Orlistat for Prescription Weight Loss?
Orlistat and Fat-Soluble Vitamins: What You Need to Know
When taking orlistat for weight management, understanding the relationship between this prescription treatment and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) is essential. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system, which may reduce the absorption of these important vitamins that require fat for proper uptake.
How Orlistat Affects Vitamin Absorption
As orlistat prevents the absorption of dietary fat, it may also reduce your body's ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins from food. This is why healthcare professionals recommend taking a daily multivitamin supplement during orlistat treatment. Take your multivitamin at bedtime, at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose, to ensure optimal absorption.
EverydayMeds Orlistat Treatment Options
Our prescription weight loss service offers three clinically-proven options following online assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £29.69 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10. For those preferring the branded option, Xenical 120mg is available from £38.69. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative from £26.09, perfect for those seeking a gentler starting point.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
All orlistat prescriptions require clinical assessment to ensure treatment suitability. Our qualified UK prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Supporting Your Weight Loss Journey
Orlistat works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Keep your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising treatment effectiveness. Our 12-week supply options (£86.39 for generic orlistat, £116.09 for Xenical with EDM10) provide excellent value for sustained weight management support.
