Xenical vs Orlistat - Which Weight Loss Tablet?
Both Xenical and generic orlistat contain the same active ingredient (orlistat 120mg) and work identically to support weight management. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect at a lower price. Orlistat 120mg (4 weeks) costs £29.69 with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical 120mg (4 weeks) costs £38.69 with EDM10. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment.
How Prescription Weight Loss Tablets Work
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially reducing calorie intake from fat. Treatment must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Effects vary between individuals and work best when meals contain no more than 15g fat each.

Choose from flexible treatment durations. Orlistat 120mg: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £57.59, or 12 weeks (252 capsules) £86.39 with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, or 12 weeks £116.09 with EDM10. All prices include prescription and clinical assessment.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Getting prescription weight loss tablets is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Treatment is typically suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects, especially when eating high-fat meals. These include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and urgent need to open bowels. Side effects indicate the medication is working and typically reduce when dietary fat is kept low. A daily multivitamin is recommended, taken at bedtime. Always follow your prescriber's guidance and report any concerning symptoms.
