How Xenical Works in Your Body
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, which works locally in your digestive system by blocking 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 unabsorbed. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The effect occurs with each meal - keeping fat intake low (around 15g per meal) minimises gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the weight management benefits.
Xenical 120mg Pack Sizes & Pricing
Our Xenical supplies cater for different treatment durations. The 2-week pack (42 capsules) costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10), ideal for initial trials. The popular 4-week supply (84 capsules) is £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). For better value, choose our 8-week pack at £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10) or maximize savings with the 12-week supply at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Each capsule provides the full 120mg prescription strength, taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Generic Orlistat - Same Effect, Lower Cost
Generic orlistat 120mg contains the identical active ingredient as Xenical at significantly lower prices. Our 4-week orlistat supply costs just £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to £42.99 for branded Xenical - saving £9.30 monthly. The 12-week orlistat pack offers exceptional value at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), providing three months' supply for less than two months of Xenical. Both products work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides half the orlistat dose at 60mg per capsule. Our 4-week Alli pack (42 capsules) costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), while the 12-week supply is £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). This lower strength may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting approach, though the fat-blocking effect is correspondingly reduced. Like prescription-strength orlistat, Alli must be used alongside dietary changes for optimal results.
Choosing the Right Pack Size for You
Your prescriber will help determine appropriate treatment duration based on your individual circumstances. Many patients start with 4-week supplies to assess tolerance, then progress to 8 or 12-week packs for convenience and savings. Longer supplies ensure treatment continuity without frequent reordering. The 12-week packs offer the best value - our orlistat 12-week supply saves £33.60 compared to buying three separate monthly packs. All pack sizes require the same online clinical assessment process.
