Which Should You Choose - Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical - Identical Active Ingredient
The key difference between orlistat and Xenical is cost, not clinical effect. Both contain exactly 120mg orlistat and work identically by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat offers substantial savings - a 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical, saving over £100 annually.

How All Orlistat Products Work
Whether you choose generic orlistat, Xenical, or Alli, the mechanism remains the same - blocking lipase enzymes to prevent approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the digestive system. All work best when combined with reduced-calorie, lower-fat meals (approximately 15g fat per meal) and regular physical activity for optimal weight management support.
