Compare In-Stock Orlistat vs Xenical Options
Which is Better: Orlistat or Xenical?
The clinical answer is straightforward - orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The key difference lies in cost and manufacturer preference rather than clinical effectiveness.
Generic orlistat 120mg offers identical clinical benefits to branded Xenical at a significantly lower price. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £38.69 - saving you £36 over a 12-week treatment course.

How Both Products Work
Whether you choose orlistat or Xenical, both work identically by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut. This blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your digestive system. Both require the same dosing - one 120mg capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Making Your Choice
Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings, whilst others prefer branded Xenical. Both require online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers and work best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your prescriber will confirm which option suits your individual circumstances during the consultation process.
