Orlistat vs Xenical - Which Should You Choose?
Orlistat and Xenical: Identical Active Ingredient, Different Prices
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the primary difference is cost.
Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 for the same quantity (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, generic orlistat costs £95.99 versus £128.99 for Xenical - a saving of £33 per treatment cycle.

Clinical Assessment Required - Online Process Available
Both orlistat and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. Our online consultation process reviews your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Treatment may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions.
The online process typically completes within hours, with prescriptions issued where clinically appropriate. No GP appointment needed - your prescription is included in the price.
Same Effect, Your Choice of Brand
Some patients prefer branded Xenical for familiarity, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. Both contain orlistat 120mg, taken three times daily with main meals containing fat. Both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and require the same reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet approach.
Treatment works best when daily fat intake stays around 30% of calories, spread evenly across three meals. This approach maximises effectiveness whilst minimising gastrointestinal side effects.
