How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Do Xenical Tablets Work? Understanding the Mechanism
Xenical tablets contain orlistat 120mg, a prescription-only medicine that works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions. Individual suitability is determined through clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Online Prescription Process at EverydayMeds
Our streamlined online prescription service makes accessing Xenical simple and discreet. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a prescription.
Following prescriber approval, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment required.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Your Options
We offer both branded Xenical and generic orlistat 120mg. Both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. Generic orlistat offers excellent value from £29.69 for 4 weeks, whilst Xenical is available from £38.69 for the same period (both prices with EDM10 discount).
Available supply options include 2-week starter packs through to 12-week supplies. Our 8-week Xenical supply costs £78.29 with discount, whilst the equivalent generic orlistat costs £57.59 - saving over £20 whilst maintaining the same clinical effect.
What to Expect During Treatment
Xenical works best when combined with a structured weight management plan. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Most patients experience improved tolerance as they adapt to a lower-fat diet.
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip the corresponding dose. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake.
Professional Support Throughout Treatment
Our prescribers provide ongoing support throughout your treatment journey. Regular review consultations ensure your treatment remains appropriate and effective. Contact our pharmacy team with any questions about dosing, side effects, or reordering.
Use code EDM10 at checkout for 10% off every order - available for both new and returning customers. This brings our 4-week Xenical supply down to £38.69, and 12-week supplies to £116.09, representing significant savings over high street pharmacy prices.
