How Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Works
Does Alli Help with Weight Loss? Understanding Your Options
Alli, orlistat, and Xenical all contain the same active ingredient that may help support weight management. Orlistat 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 to reduce the number of calories absorbed from fat. When combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity, prescription weight loss tablets can support your weight management goals.
Prescription Weight Loss UK: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks three clinically proven options. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective choice at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains identical active ingredients at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All require clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers to ensure suitability for your individual circumstances.
Online Prescription Process
Getting prescription weight loss treatment has never been more convenient. Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery. The prescription consultation is included in the price – no separate GP appointment needed.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber will assess whether treatment is appropriate based on your individual health circumstances. Orlistat must always be used alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity for optimal results.
Understanding How Orlistat Works
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. This reduction in absorbed calories can support weight loss when combined with a structured weight management programme. Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects initially, which typically reduce as your diet adapts to lower fat intake.
