You can buy Orlistat (Xenical/Alli) as an over-the-counter alternative to Wegovy in the UK.
However, Orlistat is a very different type of weight-loss medication, and research suggests it’s not as effective as Wegovy in supporting weight loss.
Wegovy and Orlistat are weight-loss medications approved for use in the UK. However, they are different medications with distinct dosing schedules, costs, and mechanisms of action on the body.
Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. Lipases are gut enzymes that break down fat from food, enabling the gut to transport fat into the body to be burnt for energy or stored in our fat cells for later use.
Orlistat blocks lipases, preventing some of the dietary fat from our meals from being digested. This leads to fewer calories being absorbed, which can support weight loss.
Orlistat is a prescription medication produced by two pharmaceutical companies in the UK:
Wegovy is a weight-loss jab manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It’s a weekly weight-loss injection with semaglutide as the active ingredient.
Semaglutide is a that helps reduce hunger and appetite, allowing you to eat fewer calories, lose weight, and manage your blood sugar levels.
Wegovy is approved in the UK for individuals living with obesity to help them eat fewer calories and lose weight.
The over-the-counter version of Orlistat will cost around £18 a month, so it’s a very affordable medication.
In comparison, buying Wegovy and the injectable pens required for four weeks from Second Nature will cost £229 a month, rising to £299.
Orlistat is an affordable medication that is generally well-tolerated. However, it’s less effective than Wegovy. Wegovy is twice as effective as Orlistat for weight loss after one year.
So, if you’re looking for the most affordable weight-loss pill you can purchase over the counter, then Orlistat could be an option.
However, if you have a higher budget and are looking for the most effective weight-loss injection in the UK, semaglutide is a better choice.
Semaglutide is designed as an additional tool for weight management and, in most cases, shouldn’t be considered a lifelong medication.
Instead, it should be used to help you kickstart your weight loss and healthy journey while you commit to living a healthier lifestyle.
Ideally, we’d be able to lose weight without medication and lifestyle changes would be enough to support weight loss in the long term.
We’d generally recommend trying Second Nature’s before considering a weight-loss jab.
Changing your habits is the most sustainable way to achieve long-term weight loss, and it’s also less expensive.
At Second Nature, we’ve been trusted by the NHS since 2017 to support people with type 2 diabetes and obesity to lose weight, manage their blood sugar levels, and lead healthier lifestyles for the long term.
In 2022, the NHS in the BMJ that compared the weight loss outcomes of five providers in the National Diabetes Prevention Programme.
Second Nature was more than twice as effective at supporting weight loss than the other four providers.
However, if you’ve decided to try semaglutide (when it’s available) but need support in making positive changes to your lifestyle, Second Nature could be an option for you. But it’s worth noting that we have strict eligibility criteria.
Second Nature has been able to play a role in both its effectiveness as a weight-loss weight-benefit decision-making company and it’s been able to provide strong support to people with varying needs and lifestyles.Xenical 120mg Capsules,when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet, can be used for obesity management, including weight loss and weight maintenance.Xenicalworks in your digestive system to block one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digestedThe daily intake of fat, carbohydrate and protein should be distributed over three main meals.pills can also block the absorption of some vitamins.

Healthylifeactos (orlistat 120mg) is a prescription only medicine used to treat weight loss in adult and pediatric patients. Unlike some other weight loss medications, orlistat works by suppressing the absorption of dietary fat, it does this by inhibiting the enzyme lipase. This inhibition causes the absorption of about 30% of dietary fat, and approximately 50% of the fat intake to be lost. If your body is unable to break down dietary fat, orlistat may reduce the amount of dietary fat that is absorbed. Take with or without food or when you are taking a meal. The recommended dose is one tablet taken with water.
Common side effects of orlistat 120mg include feeling sick (nausea), vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These side effects are usually mild and temporary; if more serious side effects occur, bother you, or may be severe, seek medical attention immediately.
Take special care with orlistat 120mg.
