How Xenical Works - Not an Appetite Suppressant
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) is commonly misunderstood as an appetite suppressant, but it works completely differently. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, Xenical works locally in your digestive system by blocking lipase enzymes. This prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. The medication doesn't affect hunger signals or food cravings - it simply reduces the calories absorbed from fatty foods when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
Getting Xenical through the NHS involves GP appointments, eligibility assessments, and potential waiting times. Our private prescription service eliminates these barriers. Complete an online clinical assessment reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers, receive your prescription within 24 hours (if clinically appropriate), and have your medication delivered discreetly to your address. The same clinical standards apply - we're GPhC-registered and MHRA-regulated - but without the delays.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Your Options
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat and work the same way. Xenical 120mg (branded by Roche) costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat 120mg offers the same clinical effect for £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Choose based on preference and budget - both require the same prescription process and clinical assessment. We also stock Alli 60mg (lower-strength option) for those preferring to start with half the prescription dose.
Who May Be Suitable for Private Prescription
Adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, may be suitable following clinical assessment. Our prescribers review each application individually, considering medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. The online consultation covers the same clinical criteria as NHS prescribing but provides faster access to treatment where appropriate.
Managing Treatment and Side Effects
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly linked to dietary fat intake. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise oily stools, urgency, and anal leakage. These effects confirm the medication is working - they're your body's response to unabsorbed fat. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A daily multivitamin (taken at bedtime) is recommended as orlistat may reduce fat-soluble vitamin absorption.
