Private Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Choose?
Identical Clinical Effect, Different Prices
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same dose. Through private prescription, you can access either option without NHS waiting lists. Generic orlistat offers identical clinical effectiveness to branded Xenical but costs significantly less. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £29.69 with code EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 - saving you £9 monthly.
How Private Prescriptions Work
EverydayMeds provides regulated private prescriptions through qualified UK-licensed prescribers. Complete an online clinical assessment covering your medical history, current medications and BMI. Your prescriber reviews this information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. This replaces the need for a face-to-face GP appointment whilst maintaining the same clinical standards.
Orlistat Pricing Comparison
Generic orlistat 120mg offers substantial savings over Xenical. Our 8-week supply costs £57.59 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £78.29 - saving £20.70. For 12-week supplies, choose orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09, saving £29.70. All prescriptions include clinical assessment, dispensing by our GPhC-registered pharmacy, and discreet UK delivery.
Same Mechanism, Lower Cost
Both medications work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. Whether you choose generic orlistat or branded Xenical, the clinical effect remains identical when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Private vs NHS Route
NHS orlistat prescriptions require meeting specific eligibility criteria and often involve waiting times for GP appointments. Private prescriptions through EverydayMeds provide faster access without NHS delays. Your treatment remains subject to the same clinical assessment standards but removes appointment scheduling barriers.
