Prescription Weight Loss Options Available Now
Xenical Availability and Prescription Options
Xenical remains available in the UK as a prescription-only medicine for weight management. Both branded Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, offering clinically equivalent effects. Following an individual clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, you can access these prescription weight loss treatments through our regulated online pharmacy service.
How Prescription Orlistat Works
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This mechanism blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed, with the unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the body. The medication may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value, starting from £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg is available from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10). Both require the same clinical assessment and offer identical weight management support. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the dose at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our streamlined process begins with completing a comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a prescription. Treatment is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with discreet, tracked delivery.
Suitability and Safety
Prescription orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal effects linked to dietary fat intake. These can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) and following your prescriber's guidance.
