Private Prescription: Orlistat vs Xenical Comparison
Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Clinical Effects
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The key difference lies in cost and manufacturer - Xenical is the original branded version by Roche, while orlistat is the generic equivalent offering the same clinical effect at a lower price.
Private Prescription Pricing Comparison
Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for the same 84 capsules, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. This represents a saving of approximately £9 per month when choosing generic orlistat. Both require the same prescription-only assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.

How Both Products Work
Orlistat and Xenical work identically as lipase inhibitors. They act locally in your gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system. Both must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet to minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximise weight management support.
