Which Orlistat Option Should You Choose?
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Effect, Different Price
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The key difference is cost - generic Orlistat offers significant savings without compromising clinical effectiveness. Orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and require the same reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside treatment.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the orlistat dose of prescription-strength options. At £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10), Alli may suit those preferring a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment. However, the lower dose means proportionally less dietary fat blocking compared to 120mg formulations. Your prescriber will help determine the most appropriate strength during your clinical assessment.
Compare All Three Options
For 4-week supplies with EDM10 discount: Alli 60mg £26.09, Orlistat 120mg £29.69, Xenical 120mg £38.69. Longer supplies offer better value - 12 weeks of Orlistat costs £86.39 compared to £116.09 for Xenical, saving over £29. All three options require online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers and work best alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity.
