Find out more about Xenical Capsules - Weight Loss Service

Xenical® prevents your body from absorbing about a third of the fat you eat, helping you lose weight when
combined with a healthy diet and exercise. It can lead to significant
weight loss – up to 10% of your body weight within a year.

What is Xenical?

Xenical® is a prescription-strength weight loss medication containing 120mg of orlistat. It works by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat, which is then naturally excreted from your body as stools.

Who can use Xenical capsules for weight loss?

Xenical® is generally recommended for individuals with a BMI over 30, or over 28 with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. It can also be an option if you’ve tried other weight loss methods without success. Our doctors will assess your individual needs and medical history to determine if Xenical® is suitable for you.

Is Xenical approved for weight loss in the UK?

Yes, Xenical (Branded Orlistat) is approved by the MHRA for weight loss in the UK.

How effective is Xenical for weight loss?

Xenical® is effective in aiding weight loss when used alongside exercise and a controlled diet. In clinical trials, people taking Xenical® were nearly twice as likely to lose 10% or more of their body weight in a year compared to those relying on diet alone. That’s 50% more weight loss with Xenical!

What are the potential side effects of Xenical?

While not everyone experiences side effects with Orlistat, some people may notice changes in their bowel habits, such as increased wind, oily spotting, or loose stools. These effects are generally mild and temporary, improving as your body gets used to the medication. Refer to the Patient Information Leaflet for more information.

Can you skip a dose of Xenical?

Xenical should be taken with a meal that contains fat. If your meal doesn’t contain any fat then you should skip a dose. You can find out more by reading the Patient Information Leaflet.
