Why Choose Prescription Weight Loss Treatment?
What Is Xenical and How Does It Work?
Xenical 120mg capsules contain the active ingredient orlistat, a prescription-only weight loss medication designed to support weight management in adults. Xenical works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help reduce calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - What's the Difference?
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same weight management support at a lower price. Xenical 120mg (branded) costs £42.99 for a 4-week supply (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), saving approximately £9 per month. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, while others choose generic orlistat for value.

Who May Be Suitable for Xenical?
Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or adults with a BMI of 28 or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment - not everyone will be eligible. Your prescriber will evaluate whether Xenical is appropriate based on your health circumstances, current medications, and weight management goals.
Important Safety Information
Like all prescription medicines, Xenical may cause side effects. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake - keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces the likelihood of side effects. Common effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These effects indicate the medication is working and typically reduce as your diet adapts. Always follow guidance from your healthcare professional and seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent.
