How Xenical Works: Clinical Evidence & Your Savings
Does Xenical Actually Work for Weight Loss?
Xenical (orlistat 120mg) works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. Clinical studies show it may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing overall calorie intake from dietary fat.

Xenical vs Generic Orlistat: Which Should You Choose?
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat and work exactly the same way. The key difference is cost. Generic orlistat 84 capsules cost £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Many patients choose generic orlistat for better value, while others prefer the branded Xenical. Your prescriber can advise which option suits you best during your online consultation.

Who Can Use Xenical?
Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Individual suitability depends on your medical history and current health status. Our online clinical assessment determines whether prescription orlistat is appropriate for you.
Maximising Results and Managing Side Effects
Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximise effectiveness. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels.
