Orlistat vs Xenical: What's Actually Different?
The confusion between Orlistat and Xenical is understandable, but the truth is straightforward - they're clinically identical. Both contain 120mg of orlistat as the active ingredient, both require prescription following clinical assessment, and both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The main difference is manufacturer and price. Generic Orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - a monthly saving of £9 with generic orlistat.

Which Should You Choose?
From a clinical perspective, there's no difference - both products work identically. Some patients prefer branded Xenical due to familiarity, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Both are prescribed following the same online clinical assessment process by UK-licensed prescribers. Your choice may depend on budget - generic orlistat offers £36 annual savings on a 4-week supply basis, or £108 annually if purchasing 12-week supplies. Both medications must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for optimal results.
