Making sure your Xenical is authentic.
So you have decided to go for Xenical as a treatment to aid your weightloss; you may even have your medication right there with you. But what now? UK Medix have found that there are other factors, often left unexplained, that you need to know before proceeding with the treatment. These include how to take the medication and most importantly did you get the genuine stuff.
After all if you’re paying for it, you may as well know for sure that it’s the real deal and anyway, fake Xenical may be very harmful in its short or even long term effects.
UK Medix wanted to help you in this little task, and so we have devised a guide for you to determine whether you have obtained the genuine Roche Manufactured Xenical medication or not. We recommend that you go through the checklist below irrespective of whether you bought your medication online, from your local slimming clinic or from your local GP. Oh and we should probably add here is that UK Medix only dispatch the genuine Roche Xenical to their patients…
1. Great! You finally receive your Xenical. But, how does it arrive?
a) Some pills arrive in a plastic bag or brown paper bag – hmm…sorry it's fake; or at least from a questionable source.
b) It arrives in one of the types of packaging shown below (Fig A & B) – good, you’re on the right track, however UK Medix have learnt that some fraudsters have even mastered copying the packaging so be safe and go to step 2.2. Was your Xenical dispensed from a licensed UK pharmacist?
a) If it has nothing written on the box or packaging - it's probably fake and definitely from a questionable source.
b) It has a pharmacy label with your details on it as well as those of the pharmacy - again you are on the right track; this is good as a source of contact to verify the medication - now proceed to the final stage - step 3.N.B. We have added the fact that it should be a UK Pharmacy due to the amount of horror stories that UK Medix have heard from people who ordered from pharmacies abroad, these involve Fake Pills, Customs Fines and huge delays.
3. Open the packaging and check the Xenical pills. What do they look like?
a) They have nothing written on them and do not look like Fig C - yep; UK Medix can pretty much advise that they're fake – do not take them, we recommend that you either return them or destroy them (any pharmacy should be able to dispose of them for you in the correct manner.)
b) They look just like the pills in Figure C and have the the words “Roche”, “Xenical” and “120mg” written on them – that’s great! - you seem to have the real deal.

If you have now gone through all of the steps above and you are still not sure of the authenticity of your Xenical, we here at Uk Medix recommend that you call up Roche with the batch number of your medication (located on the packaging) and they will be able to verify it for you.
UK Medix only dispatch the real Roche Xenical to our patients, prescribed by our own UK based doctors and dispensed from our UK based pharmacies for a next working day delivery.
Now check out how to take your Xenical in the most beneficial way.
