How to Determine if Orlistat Will Work for You
Clinical Assessment Determines Suitability
Whether orlistat will work for you depends on individual factors assessed by our UK-licensed prescribers. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our online consultation reviews your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals to determine if treatment is appropriate.

How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from meals. This mechanism may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Individual responses vary, with effectiveness depending on adherence to dietary guidelines.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
All three options contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg provides identical clinical effect at £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg offers half the prescription dose at £26.09 for 4 weeks, suitable for those preferring lower-strength treatment.
Managing Expectations and Side Effects
Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects, especially when eating high-fat meals. Keeping fat intake to approximately 15g per meal significantly reduces these effects. Side effects like oily stools or urgency are signs the medication is working by blocking fat absorption. Our prescribers provide detailed guidance on managing treatment effectively.
