Orlistat vs Xenical: Clinical Comparison & UK Pricing
Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. The primary difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same clinical effect as branded Xenical. At EverydayMeds, our GPhC-registered pharmacy dispenses both options following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
UK Pricing Comparison from Our Registered Pharmacy
Generic Orlistat 120mg: 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg: 4-week supply costs £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. This represents monthly savings of approximately £9 when choosing generic orlistat. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment. Our MHRA-regulated supply chain ensures authentic medication dispensed by qualified pharmacists.
Why Choose EverydayMeds for Orlistat Treatment?
As a GPhC-registered online pharmacy based in Leicester, we provide regulated access to prescription orlistat without GP appointments. UK-licensed prescribers review your online health questionnaire, assessing suitability for orlistat treatment. Where clinically appropriate, prescriptions are issued and dispensed from our registered pharmacy. All medication is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains, ensuring quality and authenticity.
Clinical Assessment Process
Orlistat 120mg is prescription-only medication requiring clinical assessment. Complete our online questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. UK-licensed prescribers review applications, issuing prescriptions where suitable for adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or 28kg/m² with weight-related health conditions. Treatment must be used alongside reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Alli 60mg Alternative
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Available without prescription, Alli may suit those preferring lower-strength treatment. Our 12-week supply costs £129.99, reduced to £116.99 with EDM10. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg offers greater clinical effect for suitable patients following prescriber assessment.
