Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Weight Loss Treatment?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, offering the same clinical effect for weight management. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat provides excellent value from £29.69 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Orlistat Weight Loss Tablets Work
Orlistat acts locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. Unlike stimulant medications, orlistat doesn't affect your brain or heart - it works purely in the gut to reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of your weight management programme.

All prices include your private prescription with no separate GP fees.
Managing Your Weight Loss Treatment
For optimal results and minimal side effects, maintain a low-fat diet with no more than 15g fat per meal whilst taking orlistat. The medication works best when combined with regular physical activity and a structured eating plan. Most gastrointestinal side effects can be minimised by keeping dietary fat intake low. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat?
Orlistat may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above who have weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is assessed individually through our clinical consultation process. Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those under 18 years. Your prescriber will determine if orlistat is appropriate for your circumstances.
