Did someone else post about new manufacturer? Mine are Teva now not xen
As far as i know xenical is the brand name generics include orlistat
Xen has never alone been a manufacturer name
Many companies make generics of drugs its nothing to be worried about x

I can see its still the same thing I just thought obviously this board is called xenical & if newbies are prescribed it'd be called Teva orlistat & they may not find us, wonder if our name needs changing to xenical/Teva....
I think Roche developed it. They called it Orlistat, then called the 120mg Xenical and the 60mg tablets Alli. I think when medical companies develop a drug, they have exclusivity for a certain number of years. I'm guessing that times up now as it's been around since the 90's. Then other companies are able to make it. It will be orlistat, but called something different to xen or alli, by a new manufacturer. Sorry, I'm not good at concise!

What a pain. Probably easier to get your GP to change the script to the new manufacturer name. This has happened me with other medication. I literally travelled the country. Eventually a helpful pharmacist advised me that the brand on my script was not being ordered by their chain any longer because the NHS had switched to a cheaper brand. Still had to get through the guard dog, I mean GP receptionist, to get the brand name changed. She didn't believe me, and I invited her to contact the pharmacists. She made me wait a couple of days while she phoned some chemists. Eventually she let me get the Dr to write a new script!

yes thats right. ive got a green box now. tevo makes orlistat at around 28 pound a box but xenical is still about 50 pound. thats why pharmacys are now going to tevo as there cheaper x
So as I have a repeat prescription of xenical and my gp is on may leave I'm gonna struggle to get it aren't I?!

If there's more than on GP in the practice, there's no reason one of them can't change the prescription for you.So as I have a repeat prescription of xenical and my gp is on may leave I'm gonna struggle to get it aren't I?!

My prescription said the same thing as usual - orlistat Sobieski guess that's why I didn't have any hassles getting it as there was no brand name mentioned
