Understanding Orlistat: How Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Works
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat acts locally in the gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary sources when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Orlistat Information Leaflet: Treatment Options Available
We offer three clinically equivalent options following prescriber assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg capsules provide the most cost-effective treatment from £15.20 per 2-week supply with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at identical strength, available from £19.35 per 2-week supply. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg offers half the prescription dose from £26.09 per 4-week supply.
Prescription Process: Fast Access to Weight Loss Treatment
Our regulated online service eliminates the need for GP appointments while maintaining clinical safety standards. Complete your confidential health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your treatment is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Clinical Suitability and Safety Information
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment requires ongoing commitment to dietary changes, as effectiveness depends on reducing fat intake to approximately 15g per meal. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat consumption - keeping meals low in fat significantly reduces these effects.
