Which Should You Choose: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Difference is Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, delivering the same clinical effect. The primary difference is cost - generic orlistat provides substantial savings whilst offering equivalent fat absorption blocking. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 for orlistat vs £38.69 for Xenical (with EDM10), saving you over £100 annually. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Same Clinical Assessment for Both Options
Whether choosing orlistat or Xenical, both require prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our prescribers review your suitability for either option based on BMI criteria and associated health factors. Both products are prescribed where clinically appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Consider Alli 60mg as Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, providing a gentler introduction with typically milder gastrointestinal effects. Our Alli pricing: 4-week supply £26.09, 8-week supply £49.49, 12-week supply £116.99 (all with EDM10). Alli works through the same fat-blocking mechanism but may be suitable for those preferring lower-strength starting treatment. All three options work best when combined with reduced-fat meals and regular physical activity.
