How it works — get your Xenical prescription in 4 steps

4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your Xenical.

Who qualifies for Xenical

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. Generally, Xenical (Orlistat) is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 28 kg/m² or more who are also obese or overweight and have other risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes. It can also be considered for those with a BMI over 30 kg/m². The doctor will look for a commitment to dietary changes and increased physical activity. Contraindications include chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Your doctor will review your full medical history from the questionnaire to ensure Xenical is safe and appropriate for you.

What Xenical actually does (and doesn't do)

Xenical works by blocking about a third of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat is then passed out in your stools. It's not a miracle pill; it's a tool to support weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise. It helps you lose weight gradually, typically 5-10% of your body weight over six months to a year. It does not suppress appetite or directly burn fat; it simply reduces fat absorption. Realistic expectations are crucial for success.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Xenical can cause side effects. Most common side effects are related to the digestive system and are often due to a high-fat diet while taking the medication. These can include oily spotting, gas with discharge, urgent bowel movements, and oily or fatty stools. These usually improve with dietary adjustments. Less common but serious side effects can include liver problems, kidney stones, and pancreatitis. You should stop taking Xenical and consult a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Always discuss any concerns with your prescribing doctor.
