Xenical 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

Ordering Xenical online is simple and discreet. Just complete a quick online consultation, which will be reviewed by one of our UK-registered clinicians. If approved, your treatment will be safely prescribed and delivered to your door. Start your weight-loss journey today.
This treatment requires an online consultation for review by our medical team. The decision to supply the specific treatment and quantity requested will be based on whether our medical team are satisfied that it will be safe, appropriate, and effective.

About Xenical 120mg Capsules
Xenical 120mg is a prescription weight loss medication that has been safely used for over 25 years to support adults struggling to lose weight. It could be suitable for you if you have a BMI of 30 or higher. It may also be suitable if your BMI is 28 and above and you also have health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Xenical blocks about one-third of fat from your food from being absorbed by your body. For the best results, combine this medication with a healthy diet and regular exercise to support long-term weight loss.
How Do Xenical 120mg Capsules Work?
Xenical 120mg contains orlistat, which helps with weight loss by blocking fat absorption. It stops enzymes in your stomach from breaking down fat, so about one-third of the fat passes through your body naturally when you go to the toilet. For the best results, use Xenical alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.
How To Take/Use Xenical 120mg Capsules
Take one Xenical 120mg capsule up to three times a day, with each main meal that contains fat. You can take it just before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal, eat a fat-free meal, or have a small snack instead, you don’t need to take a dose. Sticking to the correct dosing schedule is essential for Xenical to work effectively as part of your weight loss plan.
Ingredients
Each Xenical 120mg capsule contains the active ingredient orlistat (120mg) as the which helps block fat absorption in the body.
Other inactive ingredients include:
Microcrystalline cellulose - helps form the capsule
Sodium starch glycolate – helps the capsule dissolve
Povidone - helps keep the ingredients stable
Sodium lauryil sulfate & talc - ensure even mixing of ingredients
The capsule shell contains gelatine, indigo carmine (E132), and titanium dioxide (E171), giving it its blue colour.
Side Effects
Xenical works by stopping your body from absorbing so much fat. This can cause side effects like oily stools, increased bowel movements, or stomach pain.
After eating high-fat meals, you may experience:
oily spotting in your underwear
flatulence/wind
the need to poo more quickly or urgently
These effects are harmless, but can be reduced by following a low-fat diet. Keeping fat intake evenly spread across your meals and avoiding greasy foods can help minimise your symptoms. Most side effects should improve as your body adjusts to the medication.
Warnings
Don’t take Xenical if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have liver disease (cholestasis), or malabsorption syndrome (a condition affecting digestion). Xenical can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), so it’s a good idea to take a daily multivitamin.
Xenical can affect blood thinners, diabetes medicine, thyroid treatments, and ciclosporin. Talk to a doctor before use to avoid interactions. Severe diarrhoea may make oral contraceptives less effective, so use extra protection such as condoms if needed.

Xenical 120mg Capsules FAQs
Xenical 120mg works differently from other weight loss treatments because it blocks fat absorption rather than reducing your appetite or increasing your metabolism. It contains orlistat, which prevents around one-third of the fat in your meals from being absorbed by your body, helping you lose weight naturally.
Alli (60mg) – A lower-dose version of Xenical, available over the counter. It works the same way but is half the strength and generally cheaper than Xenical.
Orlos (60mg) - The generic version of Alli, it’s available without prescription and is usually less expensive.
Orlistat (120mg) - Double the dose of Alli, this prescription-only treatment works in the same way and is a very effective oral weight loss medication.
Mounjaro - this is a weekly, injectable weight loss treatment that works by imitating hormones that tell your brain and body you aren’t hungry, reducing your appetite and your calorie intake. It’s available in varying doses that should be increased slowly to limit the risk of side effects. Only available on prescription.
WeGovy - another weekly injectable weight loss treatment that works in the same way as Mounjaro and is only available on prescription.
Nevolat - a daily injectable weight loss treatment that controls hunger and supports reducing your calorie intake. Only available on prescription.
With regular use, Xenical can help you lose around 5% of your body weight within the first 13 weeks, when combined with diet and exercise. For example, if you weigh 100kg, a 5% loss means you could lose 5kg in three months. If you weigh 80kg, you may lose 4kg. Weight loss with Xenical should be gradual and sustainable, rather than rapid. For the best results, follow a balanced diet, control your portion sizes, and stay active to support long-term success.
Take one 120mg capsule up to three times daily, with each main meal that contains fat. You can take it before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal, eat a fat-free meal, or have only a small snack, you don’t need to take a capsule. The maximum daily dose is three capsules - taking more won’t improve results but may increase side effects and is not advised.
Xenical 120mg is a prescription-only medication, and for safety reasons, we can only supply a maximum of three months' treatment at a time. Effectiveness is reviewed after one to three months - if you haven’t lost at least 5% of your body weight, your treatment may be stopped. This prevents unnecessary medication use. If Xenical is working well and your BMI remains above the treatment threshold, you can log in and reorder to continue your weight loss journey.
Yes, you should take a multivitamin while using Xenical. The medication can reduce absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are important for your health. Taking a multivitamin can help to replace lost nutrients without affecting how Xenical works.
Combining Xenical with other weight loss medications is not recommended unless advised by a doctor. Mixing treatments can increase side effects or reduce effectiveness. Instead, focus on healthy eating, portion control, and regular exercise, which are the most important factors for long-term success. If you’re considering another treatment, always consult a healthcare professional first.
No, Xenical 120mg is prescription-only, meaning you must complete an online consultation with licensed clinician before ordering. However, a lower-dose version, Alli 60mg, is available over the counter without a prescription. Alli contains the same active ingredient (orlistat) but in a smaller dose. If you need stronger support, Xenical may be prescribed if you meet the necessary BMI and health criteria.
Your doctor can prescribe Xenical if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or 28+ with health risks like diabetes or high blood pressure. Before prescribing, your doctor will assess your weight, medical history, and lifestyle to ensure Xenical is right for you. Since it works best alongside healthy eating and regular exercise, most doctors recommend trying lifestyle changes first. If suitable, Xenical can be prescribed as part of a long-term weight management plan. You can also order Xenical from our UK clinical team.
