How Xenical Works for Weight Loss
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, a prescription-only lipase inhibitor that works in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. When you take Xenical with meals containing fat, the unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary sources. This mechanism may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Clinical Effect
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same fat-blocking mechanism from £15.20 for 2 weeks, while branded Xenical starts from £19.35. Our 4-week supplies cost £29.69 for generic orlistat versus £38.69 for Xenical with EDM10 discount, saving approximately £9 monthly with the generic option.
Professional Clinical Assessment Process
Every prescription requires review by qualified UK-licensed prescribers through our online clinical assessment. Complete a confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. Our prescribers determine treatment suitability based on individual circumstances, typically for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Prescription orlistat may be suitable where clinically appropriate following professional review.
Dosing and Treatment Guidelines
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat - immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. Maximum three capsules daily. Our pack sizes provide convenient treatment periods: 42 capsules for 2 weeks (£15.20 generic, £19.35 Xenical), 84 capsules for 4 weeks, 168 capsules for 8 weeks, or 252 capsules for 12 weeks, all with EDM10 savings.
Managing Side Effects Effectively
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, fatty spotting, or increased bowel movements. These effects are directly related to dietary fat intake - keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each significantly reduces side effects. Most patients find symptoms improve as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern. Take a daily multivitamin at bedtime to support fat-soluble vitamin absorption. Contact healthcare professionals if side effects are severe or persistent.
