Understanding Xenical's Mechanism and Your Savings
How Xenical Works in Your Body
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, which works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The active ingredient inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut that normally break down dietary fats. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, reducing the calories your body absorbs from meals. Xenical acts locally in your gut - it's not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts, making it different from appetite suppressants that affect your brain.
Save 10% on Every Xenical Order
Our EDM10 discount code gives you 10% off every order - whether you're a new or returning customer. No loyalty card needed, just use EDM10 every time you order. Xenical 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with your discount. For maximum savings, consider generic orlistat 120mg at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) - it contains identical orlistat and works exactly the same way as branded Xenical.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. The key difference is cost. Generic orlistat from our Leicester pharmacy costs £86.39 for 12 weeks with EDM10, while Xenical costs £116.09 - that's nearly £30 more for the same clinical effect. Many patients choose generic orlistat for better value, while others prefer the branded option.
Your Weight Management Support
Xenical may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. It's designed to work as part of a structured weight management programme, not as a standalone solution. The medication is most effective when you keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal, which also helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects that can occur with higher-fat meals.
