Generic Orlistat vs Xenical: Make Your Choice
Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The key difference is price - generic orlistat offers substantial savings whilst delivering the same clinical effect.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Our pricing clearly shows the cost advantage of choosing generic orlistat. For a 4-week supply, generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). That's approximately £9 monthly savings - £108 annually by choosing the generic option. Both require the same online clinical assessment and prescription process.

Which Should You Choose?
Both options require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Generic orlistat provides excellent value without compromising effectiveness - it's clinically equivalent to Xenical at a lower cost. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic orlistat for the significant savings. Both are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy with identical next day delivery service.
