How to Take Xenical - Private Prescription Process
Taking Xenical 120mg - Dosing Schedule
Xenical should be taken as one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. This dosing schedule applies whether you choose branded Xenical or generic orlistat 120mg through our private prescription service.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While Xenical is available on the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for weight management appointments. Our private prescription service provides faster access - complete an online consultation today and receive your prescription without visiting a GP. The same clinical assessment standards apply, but you'll avoid NHS delays. Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat 4-week supply is £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10).
When to Take Your Dose
Take Xenical with breakfast, lunch, and dinner - the three main meals of the day. Timing is important because Xenical works by blocking approximately one third of the fat from the meal you're eating. For best results, keep each meal to around 15g of fat or less. This reduces side effects and helps the medication work effectively as part of your weight management programme.
Private Prescription Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and BMI information through a comprehensive online questionnaire. This clinical assessment determines whether Xenical is suitable for your individual circumstances. The prescription is included in the price - no separate consultation fees. If approved, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Active Ingredient
Both Xenical and generic orlistat contain identical 120mg orlistat doses and work the same way. Xenical is the branded version manufactured by Roche, while generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect at a lower cost. Many patients choose generic orlistat to save approximately £10 per month. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your preferences and budget during the online consultation.
