Private Prescription Orlistat vs Xenical - Which to Choose?

Identical Clinical Effect at Different Price Points

Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the primary difference lies in manufacturing and cost. Generic orlistat at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10) offers substantial savings versus Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both options deliver the same fat-blocking mechanism and require the same clinical assessment.

Skip NHS Waiting Lists with Private Prescription

While orlistat is available through NHS prescriptions, accessing treatment often involves lengthy GP waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service provides immediate access following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Complete your health questionnaire today, receive prescriber review within hours, and have treatment dispatched for next day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate consultation fees or GP appointment delays.
