Choose Your Xenical Hard Capsule Weight Loss Treatment
Xenical Hard Capsules for Weight Management
Xenical hard capsules contain 120mg orlistat, a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. As a lipase inhibitor, Xenical acts locally in the digestive system to reduce dietary fat absorption, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the body. This prescription weight loss treatment may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Which Should You Choose?
Both Xenical and generic orlistat contain the same active ingredient (orlistat 120mg) and provide identical clinical effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same weight management support. At EverydayMeds, Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), whilst generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your needs.

Who May Be Suitable for Xenical
Xenical may be suitable for adults aged 18 or over with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through clinical review. Xenical is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those with certain medical conditions including chronic malabsorption syndrome. Your prescriber will determine whether Xenical is appropriate for your circumstances.
Important Safety Information
Like all prescription medicines, Xenical may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects linked to dietary fat intake. These include oily or fatty stools, urgent bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Side effects can be significantly reduced by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal). Most patients find side effects decrease over time as diet adapts. Take one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or skip the dose if a meal contains no fat. A daily multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime.
