Which Weight Loss Treatment is Right for You?
Understanding Your Weight Management Options
When comparing weight management treatments, it's important to understand how different medications work. While Wegovy (semaglutide) is an injectable medication that affects appetite regulation, Xenical contains orlistat 120mg - a prescription tablet that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. EverydayMeds, as a GPhC-registered pharmacy based in Leicester, can provide both generic orlistat and branded Xenical following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Active Ingredient
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst maintaining the same fat-blocking mechanism. Our generic orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10, compared to branded Xenical at £19.35. For a 12-week supply, you could save over £29 by choosing generic orlistat (£86.39 vs £116.09 with EDM10).
How Orlistat Works vs Injectable Options
Unlike injectable treatments, orlistat works locally in your digestive system. It inhibits lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat, meaning approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through your body unabsorbed. This mechanism makes it particularly effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Our UK prescribers assess whether orlistat is suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
