Prescription Fat Blockers: Orlistat vs Xenical
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient and work identically to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst providing the same clinical effect. Our 4-week orlistat supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical, saving you £9 monthly.
How Prescription Orlistat Works
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of consumed fat from being absorbed, allowing it to pass naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts only in the gut and may help reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Pricing and Pack Sizes
Our orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10. Popular 4-week packs cost £29.69, whilst 12-week supplies offer best value at £86.39. Branded Xenical ranges from £19.35 to £116.09 depending on duration. All prices include the prescription - no separate GP appointment needed. Order online with confidence from our Leicester-based, GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Start your weight loss journey with our secure online consultation. Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a prescription for orlistat or Xenical. Treatment is suitable for some adults with a BMI of 28-30+ with weight-related health concerns, subject to individual assessment.
Professional Support and Delivery
Following prescriber approval, we dispense your medication from our MHRA-regulated pharmacy and dispatch via tracked, discreet packaging. Next-day delivery available across the UK. Our clinical team provides ongoing support throughout your treatment. Remember, prescription orlistat works best alongside a structured diet plan limiting fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximise effectiveness.
