Why Choose Xenical 120mg for Weight Management?
What is Xenical 120mg?
Xenical 120mg capsules contain orlistat, a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, Xenical works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - What's the Difference?
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - while Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche, generic orlistat offers the same weight management support at a lower price. At EverydayMeds, generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply compared to Xenical at £42.99, saving approximately £10 per month. Some patients prefer the branded option, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value.

All orders include the online prescription consultation and next-day delivery across the UK.
How to Take Xenical 120mg
Xenical should be taken as one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after your meal. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. It's important to follow a reduced-calorie diet where no more than 30% of calories come from fat - this helps maximise effectiveness whilst minimising potential gastrointestinal side effects. Your prescriber will provide detailed guidance on diet and lifestyle changes to support your treatment.
Who Can Use Xenical 120mg?
Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, 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. Suitability is determined through an individual clinical assessment by one of our UK-licensed prescribers. The online consultation takes just a few minutes and covers your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Treatment is only prescribed where clinically appropriate following this professional review.
