Patient summary
Orlistat 60mg and 120mg hard capsules, used in the management of obesity and overweight. A lipase inhibitor acting in the gut, not on the brain.
Mechanism of action
This medicine acts as a peripheral lipase inhibitor, preventing the body from breaking down and absorbing fats from the diet, which are then eliminated through bowel movements.
Xenical is a well-known brand of orlistat, a medicine used to assist with obesity and overweight conditions. The same active ingredient is also marketed under the brand Alli, and it is supplied as a tablet available in 60mg or 120mg strengths. This treatment helps manage weight by reducing the absorption of dietary fat.
Buying Xenical online
Generic orlistat, much of it made in India, is far more affordable than the original brand for people across Australia. Reliable access to this medicine is useful for those living far from a reliable pharmacy. As with all treatments, orlistat is best used under a doctor’s care.

- Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
