Understanding Xenical and Weight Changes - Buy Today
Does Xenical Actually Cause Weight Gain?
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) does not cause weight gain through its clinical mechanism. This prescription medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your gut, which should support weight reduction when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. If you're experiencing weight gain whilst taking Xenical, this typically indicates that the medication isn't working as intended due to dietary factors or that you may need prescriber guidance on your treatment plan.
Why Some People Think Xenical Causes Weight Gain
Several factors can create the impression that Xenical causes weight gain. Firstly, if you continue eating high-fat meals, you'll still absorb two-thirds of the dietary fat, meaning significant calorie intake continues. Secondly, some people compensate for taking Xenical by eating more carbohydrates or protein, which aren't affected by the medication. Finally, initial bloating or changes in bowel habits may temporarily affect the scales. At EverydayMeds, our UK-licensed prescribers can review your progress and provide guidance on optimising your treatment.
Genuine Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Clinical Effect
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing equivalent clinical effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same fat-blocking mechanism at a lower price. Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work by inhibiting lipase enzymes to prevent approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Maximising Weight Loss Success with Orlistat
To prevent weight gain and optimise results, maintain a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with approximately 15g fat per meal spread across three main meals daily. This minimises gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising the medication's effectiveness. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, or skip doses if meals contain no fat. Combine treatment with regular physical activity and consider a multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime. Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance with every consultation.
