How Xenical Helps Weight Loss - Private Route Available
Does Xenical Actually Help You Lose Weight?
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) may help support weight loss by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The active ingredient works locally in your gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical studies show Xenical can support weight management in adults with a BMI of 28 or above (with weight-related health conditions) or BMI 30 and above. Individual results vary significantly and depend on combining treatment with dietary changes and increased physical activity.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While Xenical is available on the NHS, accessing it privately through EverydayMeds offers several advantages. Skip lengthy NHS waiting lists and GP appointments with our streamlined online service. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability for Xenical or generic orlistat following a comprehensive online consultation.
Private prescription costs: Xenical 120mg from £38.69 monthly (4-week supply) or choose generic orlistat 120mg from £29.69 monthly with discount code EDM10. Both contain identical active ingredients - the main difference is cost, with generic orlistat offering the same clinical effect at lower prices.
Your Treatment Options Explained
EverydayMeds stocks three orlistat options following prescriber approval:
Orlistat 120mg (Generic): Most cost-effective option. 4-week supply (84 capsules) £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with EDM10. Identical active ingredient to branded Xenical at significant savings.
Xenical 120mg (Branded): Original branded version by Roche. 4-week supply £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. Same clinical effect as generic - some patients prefer the branded option.
Alli 60mg: Lower-strength option at half the dose. 4-week supply £28.99, reduced to £26.09 with EDM10. Milder effects but also potentially fewer side effects.
How Our Private Prescription Service Works
Our regulated online process is designed for convenience and speed. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines suitability for orlistat treatment.
If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Orders are dispatched with next day delivery in discreet packaging. The prescription cost is included - no separate fees for GP consultations or prescriber reviews.
What to Expect During Treatment
Orlistat works best when combined with a lower-fat diet containing no more than 30% calories from fat (approximately 15g fat per meal). Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects initially, particularly if eating high-fat meals. These effects are signs the medication is working and typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern.
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
