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 provide a very fair service as a partner with Second Nature since 2017Weight loss support is still a reliable tool to help you kickstart your weight loss, lose weight, and manage your blood sugar levels.

Tablets like (the brand name for Orlistat) work by reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs. Ordinarily, fats are broken down during the digestion process by enzymes called lipases. Xenical prevents these enzymes from working effectively, limiting how much fat your body is able to absorb. The remaining, undigested fat is then excreted.
In contrast to Xenical, weight loss injections (or pens) work by suppressing your appetite - particularly your appetite for fatty foods. Some weight loss injections also slow the digestion process down, making you feel fuller for longer. They’re simple to use - check out our for more information.
Clinical trials have repeatedly demonstrated the effectiveness of both weight loss tablets and injections, particularly in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle., participants using lost almost 15% of their body weight over a 15-month period.

Xenical, orlistat, is a weight loss drug that is used to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. It works by suppressing the absorption of fat and calories, thus preventing the development of unwanted body weight and health-related complications.
Xenical is used to treat obesity or type 2 diabetes. It works by inhibiting the absorption of fats in the blood and blocking the fat-breakthrough enzyme (lipase) responsible for breaking down triglycerides in the intestine.
Xenical may be prescribed by a healthcare professional, or it may be prescribed by a doctor.
Take Xenical as directed by your doctor.
It is recommended that you take it on an empty stomach or after a light meal for fast results.
You should not take it on an empty stomach or after a light meal.
Xenical works by preventing the absorption of fat in the bloodstream and blocks the absorption of fats. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down triglycerides in the intestine.
The absorption of fat is reduced when fat is present in the food. This is because dietary fat, while absorbed, is less likely to cause absorption problems. The fat-breakthrough enzyme (lipase) breaks down triglycerides in the intestine, so they are more likely to enter the bloodstream. Xenical does not inhibit the enzymes that break down triglycerides. Instead, it is designed to block the action of these enzymes, which means that triglycerides are more likely to pass through the blood into the digestive system.
When you eat fat, your body absorbs the fat from your meals. When you eat less fat, your body does not absorb the fat, and it is excreted from your body.
When you take Xenical, you may experience unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects. These include oily spotting, bloating, gas, and gas with fecal urgency.
This is not a complete list of Xenical side effects. If you have any concerns about these side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Xenical may increase the risk of certain serious side effects if you have liver or kidney disease.
Xenical is contraindicated for people with a history of severe gastrointestinal illness or an intolerance to fats or triglycerides. People with a history of peptic ulcer disease or bowel problems, or who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take this medicine.
Xenical may increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack in people with high blood pressure, heart failure, and high cholesterol levels. This risk increases if you are taking other medications that include ketoconazole and itraconazole.
People who smoke or are overweight or are currently suffering from diabetes, should not take Xenical.
People who are taking ketoconazole or ritonavir should not take Xenical.
People who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take Xenical.
People who have or have had a liver problem should not take Xenical.
