How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Action Drives Results
The Science Behind How Xenical Tablets Work
Xenical tablets contain orlistat 120mg, which works through a precise mechanism in your digestive system. 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 digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, reducing the calories you absorb from dietary fat.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat Over Branded Xenical?
Generic orlistat 120mg contains exactly the same active ingredient as branded Xenical at the same dose. The clinical effect is identical - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. However, generic orlistat costs significantly less: £29.69 for 4 weeks versus £38.69 for Xenical with code EDM10. Save approximately £9 monthly while getting the same proven fat-blocking mechanism. Both require the same prescription following clinical assessment.
Orlistat Dosing and Supply Options
Orlistat 120mg is taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Our supply options reflect this dosing: 42 capsules (2 weeks, £15.20 with EDM10), 84 capsules (4 weeks, £29.69 with EDM10), 168 capsules (8 weeks, £57.59 with EDM10), and 252 capsules (12 weeks, £86.39 with EDM10). For those preferring lower-strength, Alli 60mg offers half the dose with typically milder side effects.
Online Prescription Process

Once prescribed, we dispense and dispatch from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next day delivery.
Managing the Fat-Blocking Effect
Understanding how orlistat works helps you maximise results and minimise side effects. Since it blocks approximately one third of dietary fat, keeping meals low in fat (roughly 15g per meal) reduces gastrointestinal side effects significantly. The mechanism means side effects are actually proof the medication is working - they occur when unabsorbed fat passes through your system. Most side effects reduce as your diet adapts to lower fat intake.
