Why Choose Private Prescription Xenical?
Faster Access Than NHS Route
Getting Xenical on the NHS often involves lengthy waiting times for GP appointments, followed by potential referrals to weight management services. Our private prescription service eliminates these delays. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your online health questionnaire typically within hours, not weeks. If clinically appropriate, your Xenical prescription is issued immediately and dispatched the same day from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Genuine Xenical 120mg - Direct from Licensed Supply
We supply authentic Xenical 120mg capsules manufactured by Roche, sourced through MHRA-regulated pharmaceutical supply chains. Each capsule contains orlistat 120mg, designed to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals. Xenical works locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system.
Flexible Pack Sizes and Competitive Pricing
Choose from multiple pack sizes to suit your treatment duration. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with discount code EDM10. For longer treatment periods, our 8-week supply (168 capsules) is £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), whilst a 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). All pricing includes the private prescription - no separate consultation fees.
Alternative Options Available
Alongside branded Xenical, we also offer generic orlistat 120mg at lower cost. Generic orlistat contains the same active ingredient at identical strength, providing equivalent clinical effects. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) - saving approximately £9 per month compared to branded Xenical. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available without prescription.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess each application individually, considering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Treatment must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity for optimal results.
Managing Side Effects Effectively
Like all prescription medicines, Xenical may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat - approximately 15g fat per meal or 30% of daily calories from fat. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These effects often reduce as you adapt your diet and are actually signs the medication is working by blocking fat absorption.
