Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical: Your Choice
Clinical Equivalence: Same Active Ingredient, Different Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Clinically, they work identically - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition in your digestive system. The key difference is cost: generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same clinical effect as branded Xenical.
Cost Comparison from Our UK Registered Pharmacy
Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you save £33 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39 vs £116.09 with our 10% discount). Both require the same online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers and are dispensed from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.

Which Option Should You Choose?
Generic orlistat 120mg provides identical clinical benefits to Xenical at lower cost - making it our most popular choice for cost-conscious patients. Some prefer branded Xenical for peace of mind, though both work identically alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your prescriber can discuss both options during clinical assessment, helping you decide based on your preferences and budget.
Safety and Effectiveness
Both orlistat and Xenical may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These effects indicate the medication is working - unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces side effects whilst maximising weight management benefits. Both formulations work best combined with regular physical activity.
