How Xenical Works: Professional Pharmacy Guidance
What Xenical Does to Your Body
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, which works locally in your digestive system to inhibit lipase enzymes. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat for absorption. When blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through your body undigested. EverydayMeds, as a GPhC-registered pharmacy, ensures you receive genuine Xenical with full prescriber support. The medication acts only in your gut - it's not absorbed into your bloodstream like appetite suppressants.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat: Same Active Ingredient
Both Xenical 120mg (£38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10) and generic orlistat 120mg (£29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10) contain identical active ingredients. Our UK-licensed prescribers can help determine which option suits your needs. Many patients choose generic orlistat for cost-effectiveness, whilst others prefer branded Xenical. Both require the same clinical assessment and prescription process through our regulated pharmacy.
How to Take Xenical Safely
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. Our prescribers recommend keeping meals below 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. EverydayMeds provides comprehensive guidance with every prescription, plus ongoing support throughout treatment.
Expected Effects and Side Effects
Xenical may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and urgent toilet visits - these indicate the medication is working. Side effects typically reduce as your diet adapts. Our pharmacy team provides practical management advice with every order.
