Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, making them clinically equivalent. The key difference lies in cost and manufacturer - generic orlistat offers the same effect at a lower price point.
Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 84 capsules (4-week supply) with code EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same quantity. This represents monthly savings of approximately £9 when choosing generic orlistat.

How Both Products Work
Orlistat and Xenical work identically by blocking absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat. Both inhibit lipase enzymes in the gut, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through the body. This may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Both require prescription following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Treatment suitability depends on individual health circumstances, including BMI and weight-related health factors.
