How Xenical Works and Your Ongoing Savings
How Xenical Pills Work
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, which works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This action blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, helping reduce calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Xenical acts locally in the gut rather than being absorbed into your bloodstream, making it different from appetite suppressants that affect the brain.
Your 10% Discount on Every Order
EverydayMeds offers 10% off every order with code EDM10 - no loyalty schemes or minimum orders required. This discount applies whether you're ordering for the first time or returning for your regular supply. Xenical 120mg normally costs £42.99 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules), reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. For longer-term treatment, 12-week supplies cost £128.99, dropping to £116.09 with your discount - saving you £12.90 every three months.
Generic Orlistat: Same Effect, Greater Savings
Generic orlistat 120mg contains the identical active ingredient as branded Xenical and works in exactly the same way. Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings while receiving the same clinical benefit. With EDM10, generic orlistat costs just £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to £38.69 for Xenical - that's an extra £9 monthly saving. Both require the same prescription process and clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Clinical Evidence and Realistic Expectations
Clinical studies demonstrate that orlistat can support weight management when used alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity. The medication works best when meals contain no more than 15g of fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Individual responses vary, and the medication should be part of a comprehensive weight management programme including reduced-calorie intake and regular exercise. Your prescriber will assess whether Xenical or generic orlistat is suitable based on your BMI and health circumstances.
Ordering Process with Your Ongoing Discount

If treatment is deemed appropriate, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next day delivery.

Your prescription weight loss medication arrives in discreet packaging with tracking information provided.
Managing Your Treatment Long-Term
Most patients use orlistat for several months as part of their weight management journey. With 10% off every order, your ongoing costs remain predictable. A daily multivitamin is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Take your vitamin supplement at bedtime, at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose. Monitor your progress and discuss any concerns with your prescriber through our online consultation system.
