How Xenical Works and Your Ongoing Savings Options
How Does Xenical Work?
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, which works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed in your digestive system. It inhibits lipase enzymes in the gut, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through the body. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
10% Off Every Order - No Loyalty Card Required
Code EDM10 gives you 10% off every single order at EverydayMeds - whether you're ordering for the first time or the tenth time. For regular users managing their weight long-term, this means consistent savings on every repeat prescription. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat drops from £32.99 to £29.69, while branded Xenical reduces from £42.99 to £38.69 with EDM10.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work in exactly the same way - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as Xenical but at a lower price point. With EDM10, you save £9 per 4-week supply choosing generic over branded.
Your Repeat Order Savings
Weight management is a long-term commitment, and your savings add up with every order. On a 12-week supply of generic orlistat, you save £9.60 with EDM10 (£95.99 reduced to £86.39). For Xenical users, the 12-week saving is £12.90 (£128.99 down to £116.09). These ongoing discounts support your commitment to sustained weight management.
Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward through EverydayMeds. Complete our online health questionnaire, which gets reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Next day delivery ensures you receive your medication quickly and discreetly, with EDM10 applying to every order automatically at checkout.
Lower-Strength Option Available
Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat for those preferring a lower-strength starting point. A 4-week supply costs £28.99, reduced to £26.09 with EDM10. While less potent than 120mg formulations, Alli still helps block dietary fat absorption and may cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
