Understanding Weight Changes with Online Prescription
Can Xenical Actually Cause Weight Gain?
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. When used correctly alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet, it's designed to support weight loss, not cause weight gain. However, some patients may experience weight fluctuations if they're not following the recommended dietary guidelines or if underlying factors affect their weight management.
Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your individual situation through a comprehensive online consultation, helping you understand whether Xenical remains suitable for your weight management goals.
Get Expert Assessment Through Online Prescription Service
EverydayMeds offers a regulated online prescription service that connects you with qualified UK prescribers without needing a face-to-face GP appointment. Simply complete our secure health questionnaire, and a licensed prescriber will review your medical history, current medications, and weight management concerns.
Following clinical assessment, your prescriber can recommend the most appropriate treatment - whether that's continuing with branded Xenical (£42.99 for 4 weeks, £38.69 with EDM10), switching to generic orlistat 120mg (£32.99 for 4 weeks, £29.69 with EDM10), or considering the lower-strength Alli 60mg option.
How the Online Prescription Process Works
Our streamlined process makes accessing prescription weight loss medication straightforward. Complete your online health assessment detailing your weight management history and any concerns about weight gain. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours, not weeks. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
All medication is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day delivery available. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order - new and returning customers welcome.
Comparing Your Treatment Options
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, offering equivalent clinical effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat provides the same fat-blocking mechanism at approximately £9 less per month than branded Xenical.
Alli 60mg offers half the prescription dose, potentially suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point. Your online prescriber can discuss which option best addresses your weight management concerns while considering any previous experiences with weight fluctuations.
Expert Guidance for Sustainable Weight Management
Weight gain while taking orlistat is uncommon when the medication is used correctly. Our prescribers can assess whether dietary factors, medication interactions, or other health conditions might be affecting your weight management progress. They provide personalised guidance on optimising your treatment alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
