Prescription-strength Orlistat 120mg capsules for medical weight loss. Fat-absorption inhibitor with pharmacist dietary guidance.
Orlistat 120mg is an MHRA-licensed, prescription-strength lipase inhibitor medication designed for medical weight management. Unlike injectable GLP-1 medications that act on the brain's appetite centers, orlistat works locally in the gastrointestinal tract. Orlistat binds to gastric and pancreatic lipases, preventing these digestive enzymes from breaking down dietary fats into absorbable fatty acids. As a result, approximately one-third (30%) of the fat consumed in meals passes through the intestines unabsorbed and is eliminated naturally in bowel movements. Clinical studies show that orlistat combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet helps patients achieve significantly greater weight loss than diet alone.
