Compare Orlistat vs Xenical: Make Your Choice
Are Orlistat and Xenical Clinically Different?
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, making them clinically equivalent. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. The key difference lies in cost and branding. Generic orlistat at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10) offers identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). EverydayMeds stocks both options, allowing you to choose based on preference and budget whilst receiving the same prescription-strength treatment.
