Why Choose Xenical Hard Capsules for Weight Management?
How Xenical Hard Capsules Support Weight Loss
Xenical hard capsules contain orlistat 120mg, a prescription-only medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat acts locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, which may help reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Active Ingredient
Both Xenical and generic orlistat contain identical 120mg doses of the active ingredient orlistat, providing the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst maintaining identical weight management support. At EverydayMeds, a 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical. Both require the same prescription-only clinical assessment and work through the same mechanism of blocking dietary fat absorption.

EverydayMeds offers competitive pricing on all orlistat products with our EDM10 discount code providing 10% off every order.

For longer treatment courses, our 12-week supplies provide better value - generic orlistat at £86.39 or Xenical at £116.09 with EDM10.

Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting your prescription weight loss medication through EverydayMeds removes the need for GP appointments. Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next-day delivery in discreet packaging.
Clinical Suitability and Assessment
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our online consultation process. Our prescribers ensure orlistat is appropriate for your health circumstances and that you understand the importance of maintaining a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet whilst taking the medication.
Managing Side Effects Effectively
Most side effects associated with orlistat are gastrointestinal and directly linked to dietary fat intake. Keeping meals low in fat - approximately 15g per meal - significantly reduces the likelihood of oily stools, increased bowel frequency, or abdominal discomfort. These effects indicate the medicine is working by preventing fat absorption. Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on diet management to minimise side effects whilst maximising treatment effectiveness.
