Compare Prices: Generic Orlistat vs Xenical 120mg
Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by the same mechanism - inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. Clinically, there is no difference in effectiveness between generic orlistat and branded Xenical.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings with Generic Orlistat
The main difference lies in cost. Generic orlistat 120mg at EverydayMeds costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules), reduced to just £29.69 with discount code EDM10. Branded Xenical costs £42.99 for the same 4-week supply, or £38.69 with EDM10. Over a 12-week course, choosing generic orlistat saves you approximately £30 compared to Xenical - that's significant value for identical clinical benefit.
All Three Options Available Online
EverydayMeds stocks all weight management options: generic orlistat 120mg (prescription-only, from £15.20 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (prescription-only, from £19.35 with EDM10), and Alli 60mg (half-strength, from £26.09 with EDM10). Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option following your online clinical assessment.
Fast Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat or Xenical prescription online is straightforward. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information the same day and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery.
Which Patients Are Suitable?
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Your prescriber assesses suitability based on your individual circumstances - not everyone will be eligible.
Managing Side Effects and Maximising Results
Both orlistat and Xenical may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. Keep your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise oily stools, urgency, and abdominal discomfort. These effects indicate the medication is working by blocking fat absorption. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat diet.
