About LinkBacksHaving lost a small amount of weight my GP gave me a script for Xenical. When I went to the chemist they said it wouldn't be able to get any for months as there was a shortage. I've now put the weight back on!Is it available again?

Thanks toofatkat, I'll contact my GP for another script.
Hi there,
Even if it's been unavailable for a while, surely the GP could have given you a Substitute replacement instead.x

Taking one day at a time. Still managing to maintain.x
Hi Eliza, the GP said that there wasn't a substitute
I got mine on Thursday
Hey hun,It was worth a try.x

Just looked it up for you and the best alternative to Xenical is ALLI. You can find this product at most Chemists.
Hope that this helps.x

There's no substitute but Alli is half strength orlistat. That's why Alli also went out if production last year when there was a manufacturing problem. But obviously now it's dieted you can get both freely.

Just went back to the Doc's this week for the first time in months to get put back onto Xenical. The doctor wrote me the prescription but told me I may have problems getting it as it's apparently not being made??? At the pharmacy the girl said she wasn't sure if they had it and said she'd just check if they had some but luckily they did. Next time I go to the Doctor's should I be asking for Orlistat on my prescription and not Xenical, does anyone know what's going on with them both and if they are still in production?
Hi Alison! I haven't seen the actual Xenical for a long time, but have no trouble at all getting the Teva Orlistat every month. Not sure if they still make Xenical or not, so it's probably worth getting a prescription for Orlistat.xx
Tracy I've bad xenical since it came back into production. In fact I've had more xen than teva.

Ah right, it must depend on the area then!Originally Posted by toofatkat
It's weird though because before and during the shortage I had mostly teva

Ah okay, so I guess it's okay for Xenical or Orlistat to be put on the prescriptions? Is Teva the same as both of those?
Hi Tracy *waves* how are you? Along with the Xenical prescription I've also got 12 weeks free Weight Watchers meetings so I'll be starting that on Wednesday
