No, Xenical (orlistat) is not available over the counter in most countries. It requires a prescription from a doctor.
Why Prescription is Needed?
Orlistat interacts with other medications and can cause side effects. A doctor assesses your health to determine if it’s safe for you and monitors your progress.
Alternatives to Prescription Xenical

| Exercise Program | Regular physical activity improves metabolism and burns calories. |
| Counseling | Support from a therapist or counselor can aid in behavioral changes. |
Seeking Medical Advice
Always speak to your doctor before starting any weight-loss program, including using prescription medication. They can provide tailored recommendations based on your individual needs and health status.
