How it works: get your Xenical prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €25 every 28 days or €35 one-off. This secure form helps our doctors understand your medical history and current condition.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU (including in Funchal) to collect Xenical.

Who qualifies for Xenical

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Xenical is an appropriate treatment. Generally, Xenical (Orlistat) is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obese) or those with a BMI of 28 or higher (overweight) who also have other risk factors, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. The doctor will look for your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications during the online consultation. This is to ensure Xenical is safe and effective for your specific health needs.

What Xenical actually does (and doesn't do)

Xenical works by blocking about a third of the fat you eat from being digested and absorbed into your body. Instead, this undigested fat is passed out in your stools. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake and promotes weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. It is not a miracle pill; Xenical is a tool to support weight loss efforts, not replace healthy eating and lifestyle changes. Realistic expectations are crucial: typical weight loss with Xenical is gradual, often 5-10% of body weight over six months to a year, alongside dietary changes. It doesn't affect appetite or metabolism directly.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Xenical can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects are usually related to its mechanism of action and include oily spotting, gas with discharge, urgent bowel movements, and fatty or oily stools. These often decrease as your body adjusts to the medication and you adhere to a low-fat diet. Less common but more serious side effects can include liver problems. You should stop taking Xenical and consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea/vomiting, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Our doctors provide comprehensive guidance on managing side effects and when to seek further medical advice.
