How Our Online Prescription Process Works
Understanding How Quickly Xenical Works
Many patients ask "does Xenical work straight away?" The answer depends on what you mean by "work". Xenical (orlistat 120mg) begins blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption with your first dose, but noticeable effects on weight typically develop over weeks rather than days. The medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing the absorption of roughly one third of the fat you eat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system.
Getting started with Xenical through our online prescription service is straightforward. You'll complete a clinical assessment, have it reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber, and receive genuine medication dispatched from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Online Prescription Service: Fast Access to Xenical
Our online prescription process eliminates the need for a separate GP appointment. You complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber then reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a private prescription.
We offer three weight management options: generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective, from £15.20 for 42 capsules with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (from £19.35 for 42 capsules), and Alli 60mg (lower strength, from £26.09 for 42 capsules). All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
What to Expect During Your Online Consultation
Our clinical assessment covers essential safety information including your BMI, medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. This ensures our prescribers can make informed decisions about treatment suitability. The consultation typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete online.
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber will assess whether treatment is appropriate based on your individual circumstances.
Genuine Medication from Regulated Sources
All our orlistat products are sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy. Whether you choose generic orlistat 120mg or branded Xenical 120mg, you're receiving clinically equivalent medication that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Our 4-week supplies include 84 capsules (taken three times daily with meals containing fat). Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 84 capsules with code EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 - both representing significant savings compared to many high street pharmacies.
Fast Delivery and Ongoing Support
Once your prescription is approved and dispensed, we offer next day delivery across the UK in discreet packaging. All orders are tracked, and our customer service team can answer questions about your treatment.
Remember that orlistat works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. The medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat, but maintaining low-fat meals (around 15g fat per meal) helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximises effectiveness.
