Which Should You Choose: Generic or Branded?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, offering clinically equivalent effects. The primary difference lies in cost and branding. Generic Orlistat provides the same fat-blocking mechanism as branded Xenical but at significantly lower prices. Our 4-week Orlistat supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical - representing monthly savings of £9.

How Both Products Work
Whether you choose generic Orlistat or branded Xenical, both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition in the gut. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the digestive system. Both require the same dosing - one 120mg capsule three times daily with meals containing fat, alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, offering a gentler introduction for those preferring lower-strength treatment. Whilst less potent than 120mg versions, Alli may suit individuals wanting to start with reduced intensity. Take one 60mg capsule with each main meal, following the same dietary guidelines as prescription-strength products.
UK Prescription Process
All three products require clinical assessment. Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI details. UK-licensed prescribers review your information and issue prescriptions where clinically appropriate. Treatment suitability depends on individual circumstances - typically adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health factors like diabetes or high blood pressure qualify for 120mg prescription products.
