Get Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Back on Track
Common Reasons Why Xenical May Not Be Working
When Xenical isn't producing the expected results, several factors may be involved. Xenical (orlistat 120mg) works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but its effectiveness depends heavily on following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside the medication. If your daily fat intake exceeds approximately 30% of total calories, or if meals contain high amounts of fat, the medication may not work optimally.
Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your treatment plan during an online clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at a lower cost—4 weeks supply from £29.69 with code EDM10, compared to Xenical at £38.69.
Optimising Your Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Prescription weight loss medication works best when dietary fat is distributed evenly across three main meals, with no more than approximately 15g fat per meal. Taking orlistat exactly as prescribed—one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat—ensures maximum effectiveness. If you're missing doses or not taking the medication consistently, this significantly impacts results.
EverydayMeds offers flexible pack sizes to support your treatment journey: 2-week supplies (£15.20 with EDM10), 4-week supplies (£29.69), 8-week supplies (£57.59), and 12-week supplies (£86.39). All prescriptions include clinical assessment by qualified UK healthcare professionals.
Alternative Prescription Weight Loss Options
If Xenical 120mg isn't suitable, other prescription options may help. Generic orlistat 120mg provides identical clinical effects at reduced cost, while Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative that may cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects. Each option blocks different amounts of dietary fat absorption and requires individual clinical assessment.
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks all three options with next-day delivery across the UK. Whether you need to adjust dosage, switch between branded and generic versions, or explore lower-strength alternatives, our prescribers can guide your treatment decisions based on your individual response and circumstances.
