Which Fat Blocker Should You Choose?
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli: Key Differences
All three products contain orlistat, a prescription weight loss medication that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are clinically identical, while Alli contains half the dose at 60mg. Following clinical assessment, orlistat may help support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Generic Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Our most popular choice offers the same clinical effect as Xenical at significantly lower cost. Generic orlistat 120mg is manufactured to identical standards and contains the same active ingredient. Prices start from £15.20 for a 2-week supply with EDM10, rising to £86.39 for 12 weeks. Each capsule blocks approximately one third of fat from meals when taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Xenical 120mg - The Original Brand
Manufactured by Roche, Xenical is the original branded orlistat. While clinically identical to generic versions, some patients prefer the branded option. Xenical costs from £19.35 for 2 weeks with EDM10, up to £116.09 for 12 weeks. Both generic and branded versions require the same online clinical assessment and prescription approval from UK-licensed healthcare professionals.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Containing half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, Alli may be suitable for those preferring a lower-strength starting point. At 60mg per capsule, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg versions. Prices start from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All versions work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut to reduce fat absorption.
