Private Prescription: Faster Access to Weight Loss Treatment
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical: The Key Differences
Both generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the identical active ingredient at the same dose, making them clinically equivalent. The primary difference lies in cost – generic orlistat costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This represents a monthly saving of approximately £10 when choosing the generic option.
Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS?
NHS orlistat prescriptions often involve lengthy waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service eliminates these barriers, offering same-day prescriber review and next-day delivery. Complete your online clinical assessment today and receive your prescription without visiting a GP surgery. Both orlistat and Xenical are dispensed from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with full regulatory compliance.
How Both Medications Work
Whether you choose generic orlistat or branded Xenical, the mechanism remains identical. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially supporting weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular exercise.
Comparing Your Options
Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £63.99 for 8 weeks (£57.59 with EDM10). Xenical offers the same clinical effect at £86.99 for 8 weeks (£78.29 with EDM10). For those preferring a lower-strength starting point, Alli 60mg is available at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All options require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
