Why Choose Private Prescription for Xenical 120mg?
Xenical 120mg Uses - Clinical Applications
Xenical 120mg is prescribed for weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above (obesity), or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, supporting weight loss when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While Xenical is available on the NHS, the private prescription route offers significant advantages. Skip lengthy NHS waiting lists and avoid the need for multiple GP appointments. Our online clinical assessment replaces face-to-face consultations, providing faster access to treatment. Following prescriber review, eligible patients receive their medication within 24 hours via tracked, discreet delivery. The private route costs from £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10 discount).
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Your Options
Both Xenical 120mg (branded) and generic orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing equivalent clinical effects. Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks, while generic orlistat offers the same benefits for £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Our prescribers can advise on the most suitable option during your online consultation.
How Xenical 120mg Works
Xenical contains orlistat, which inhibits lipase enzymes in the digestive system. This prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, Xenical works locally in the gut and is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream. The medication is most effective when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat per meal to minimise side effects.
