Which Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Is Right for You?
Xenical vs Mysimba: How They Work Differently
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) and Mysimba represent different approaches to prescription weight loss treatment. Xenical works locally in the digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body. Mysimba, containing naltrexone and bupropion, acts on brain receptors to affect appetite and food cravings. Both require clinical assessment and must be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Generic orlistat 120mg offers identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at significant savings - £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to Xenical's £38.69 (with EDM10). The medication can support weight management when combined with a lower-fat diet containing no more than 30% calories from fat.

Clinical Assessment Process
Following completion of our comprehensive health questionnaire, a qualified UK prescriber reviews your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Orlistat may be prescribed where clinically appropriate for individuals meeting eligibility criteria. The assessment considers contraindications and ensures the treatment aligns with your health circumstances. This regulated process replaces the need for a GP appointment whilst maintaining the same clinical standards.
Managing Treatment Effectively
Orlistat works best when dietary fat intake is spread evenly across three main meals, with approximately 15g fat per meal. Higher fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools and urgent bowel movements. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
