Private Prescription: Orlistat vs Xenical Cost Comparison
Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Choose?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition. The clinical effect is equivalent - the main difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: £29.69 for 4 weeks versus £38.69 for Xenical (with EDM10 discount).

How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your consultation and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Following prescriber approval, medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate fees.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by qualified prescribers. Both orlistat and Xenical require use alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for optimal results. Start your consultation today to determine if private prescription orlistat or Xenical is right for you.
