How Xenical Works - Fat Not Carbohydrates
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) works specifically on dietary fat, not carbohydrates. It inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut that break down fat, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. Carbohydrates, protein and alcohol calories are not affected by Xenical - only dietary fat absorption is reduced.
Private Prescription Benefits vs NHS Route
Access Xenical through our private prescription service without NHS waiting times. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability online, potentially prescribing Xenical 120mg or generic orlistat 120mg following clinical review. Prices start from £19.35 for Xenical (2 weeks) or £15.20 for generic orlistat with EDM10 discount. Your prescription is included - no separate GP appointment required.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat Pricing
Both contain identical orlistat 120mg - the clinical effect is the same. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £38.69. For 12-week treatment, save over £29 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus branded Xenical (£116.09). Both require the same clinical assessment and work identically on fat absorption.
Your Online Clinical Assessment Process
Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications and BMI. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and may prescribe orlistat where clinically appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions. Treatment is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with next-day tracked delivery across the UK.
What to Expect During Treatment
Xenical may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise oily stools, urgency and abdominal discomfort. These effects indicate the medication is blocking fat absorption. Most patients find side effects reduce when following a lower-fat diet. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
