Why Choose Xenical 120mg for Weight Loss?
Xenical 120mg capsules contain orlistat, a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. Unlike appetite suppressants that work on the brain, Xenical acts locally in the gut to reduce calorie intake from dietary fat. This can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - What's the Difference?
Xenical is the branded version of orlistat manufactured by Roche, whilst generic orlistat contains the same active ingredient at identical strength. Both offer the same clinical effect - the key difference is cost. Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10), whilst generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Your prescriber can help you decide which is most suitable.
How Does Xenical Work?
Xenical contains orlistat, which inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat in your intestines. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested and passes naturally through your body. The remaining two thirds of dietary fat is still absorbed normally. This mechanism may help reduce your overall calorie intake from fat as part of a structured weight management programme.
Who May Be Suitable for Xenical?
Xenical may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is assessed through individual clinical consultation with our UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment must always be used alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity.

Managing Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, Xenical may cause side effects, particularly gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These can include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Side effects are more common when eating high-fat meals and can be significantly reduced by keeping each meal to approximately 15g of fat or less. Most patients find side effects improve as they adapt to a lower-fat diet.
