Orlistat vs Xenical: The Clinical Facts
When comparing orlistat and Xenical, the most important fact is they contain identical active ingredients at the same 120mg dose. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. The clinical effect is identical — the difference lies in manufacturing and cost. Generic orlistat offers the same weight management support at a significantly lower price point.
Cost Comparison from Our GPhC-Registered Pharmacy
Our Leicester-based pharmacy offers transparent pricing for both options. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you save approximately £30 choosing generic orlistat. Both require the same online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.

The Online Prescription Process
Complete our confidential medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. We dispense and dispatch the same day where possible, with next day tracked delivery across the UK. The prescription is included in the price — no separate GP appointment needed.
What About Alli 60mg?
Alli contains half the dose of prescription orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Whilst it doesn't require a prescription, it's clinically less potent than the 120mg prescription options. Our pharmacy stocks Alli for £28.99 (4 weeks, £26.09 with EDM10) for those preferring lower-strength treatment. However, many patients find prescription-strength orlistat more effective for weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Both orlistat and Xenical may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescriber assesses your individual circumstances during the online consultation. Treatment works best when combined with a structured diet containing no more than 30% calories from fat, spread across three meals daily.
