Which Should You Choose: Generic or Branded?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Clinical Facts
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the main difference is cost and manufacturer.
Private Prescription: Faster Than NHS
While orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately offers significant advantages. Our online clinical assessment takes minutes, not weeks. UK-licensed prescribers review your case within hours, and next-day delivery means you can start treatment immediately. No GP appointments, no waiting lists - just fast, regulated access to prescription weight loss medication.
Cost Comparison: Generic vs Branded
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value: 4 weeks costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), 8 weeks £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), and 12 weeks £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10). Branded Xenical costs more: 4 weeks £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), 8 weeks £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), and 12 weeks £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Both require the same clinical assessment and prescription approval.
