Which Orlistat Option Should You Choose?
Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Effects, Different Prices
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, working by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect for £9 less per month than branded Xenical. Following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, you can choose the option that suits your budget whilst receiving identical weight management support.
How Orlistat Works for Weight Management
Orlistat acts locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you consume cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. This mechanism may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat works in your gut rather than affecting your brain.
