How to Take Xenical - Private Prescription Guide
When to Take Xenical - Optimal Timing
Xenical 120mg should be taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can omit that dose. This timing ensures orlistat works effectively to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Private prescription access means you can start treatment faster without NHS delays.
Private vs NHS Route - Why Choose Private
While Xenical is available on the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. No waiting for GP appointments, no eligibility restrictions, and faster access to treatment. Our online consultation takes minutes to complete, with UK-licensed prescribers reviewing applications within 24 hours. Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat offers identical effects for £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10).
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Active Ingredient
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat contain identical amounts of the active ingredient orlistat. The clinical effects are the same - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat provides excellent value at £86.39 for 12 weeks with code EDM10, while branded Xenical costs £116.09 for the same period. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your preferences and budget.

Maximising Xenical Effectiveness
Take Xenical alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for best results. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. Consider a multivitamin taken at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Private prescription access means you can start this effective weight management approach immediately.
