Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg - Which Should You Choose?
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same dose. They work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings. Our 4-week supply of orlistat costs £29.69 with code EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Both require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
How Prescription Orlistat Works for Weight Management
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. Orlistat may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. It's not an appetite suppressant - it works by reducing the calories your body absorbs from fat.

Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or adults with a BMI of 28 or above who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers. The online consultation process reviews your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals to ensure orlistat is appropriate for you.
Your Online Prescription Process
Getting prescription weight loss medication has never been easier. Complete our online health questionnaire detailing your medical history and weight management needs. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription if clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery in discreet packaging. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP appointment needed.
Managing Treatment Effectively
To maximise effectiveness and minimise side effects, keep your fat intake to approximately 15g per meal spread across three main meals daily. Taking orlistat with high-fat meals increases the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects such as oily stools or urgent bowel movements. These effects indicate the medication is working but can be significantly reduced by maintaining a lower-fat diet. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended.
