Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Active Ingredient, Different Prices
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the identical active ingredient at the same dose, making them clinically equivalent prescription weight loss treatments. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same fat-blocking effect as branded Xenical at significantly lower prices. Orlistat 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical 84 capsules costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), saving you approximately £9 per month with the generic option.
How Prescription Weight Loss Medicine Works
Orlistat and Xenical work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Unlike appetite suppressants, these medicines work locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain, making them a different approach to weight loss support.
Who May Be Suitable for Treatment
Prescription weight loss treatment may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. A UK-licensed prescriber will assess your individual circumstances through our online consultation to determine if treatment is appropriate for you. The assessment considers your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals.
