Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Effects, Different Prices
When deciding between orlistat and Xenical, the most important fact is that both contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same 120mg dose. Clinically, they work identically - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through the same mechanism. The key difference lies in cost and manufacturer. Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period - a saving of £9 per month with the generic option.
How Both Products Work
Whether you choose orlistat or Xenical, the mechanism is identical. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Neither product acts on your brain or suppresses appetite - they work locally in your gut alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Complete Price Comparison
Our pricing makes the choice clearer. Generic orlistat 120mg: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £57.59, 12 weeks (252 capsules) £86.39 with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, 12 weeks £116.09 with EDM10. Both require the same online clinical assessment and prescription from our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alternative Option: Alli 60mg
For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription orlistat. Available without prescription at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat but may cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects. Many patients start with Alli before progressing to prescription-strength orlistat or Xenical following clinical assessment.
