How Xenical Works & Why Choose EverydayMeds
How Xenical Works in Your Body
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, a lipase inhibitor that works locally in your digestive system. When you take a Xenical capsule with a meal containing fat, it blocks lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system and is excreted.
Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, Xenical works only in your gut and is not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts. This targeted action makes it effective for weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Both In Stock
Our Leicester pharmacy stocks both branded Xenical and generic orlistat 120mg capsules. Both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose and provide the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings:
Generic Orlistat 120mg (4-week supply): £32.99 → £29.69 with EDM10
Xenical 120mg (4-week supply): £42.99 → £38.69 with EDM10
Both options require prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Whether you prefer branded Xenical or cost-effective generic orlistat, we have immediate stock available for next day delivery across the UK.
