Compare Prices: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli
What's the Difference Between Xenical and Orlistat?
The key difference between Xenical and Orlistat lies in branding and cost, not clinical effectiveness. Both contain identical 120mg orlistat, work through the same mechanism, and require prescription approval following clinical assessment. Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche, while Orlistat refers to the generic equivalent. Both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
Generic Orlistat offers substantial savings over branded Xenical. A 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for generic Orlistat versus £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for Xenical - saving approximately £9 per month. For longer treatments, the savings increase further. Our 12-week Orlistat supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) compared to £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10) for equivalent Xenical, representing over £30 in savings.
Complete Range: Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli Options
We stock all three orlistat formulations. Prescription-strength Orlistat 120mg from £15.20 offers the most cost-effective option. Branded Xenical 120mg from £19.35 provides the original formulation for those preferring branded medication. Alli 60mg from £26.09 contains half the prescription dose and represents a lower-strength alternative. All require different assessments - 120mg versions need prescription approval, while Alli follows different protocols.
How to Buy Online: Simple 3-Step Process
Purchasing orlistat online through EverydayMeds involves completing our medical questionnaire, prescriber review, and pharmacy dispatch. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your BMI, medical history, and suitability for weight loss medication. Following prescription approval, our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy dispenses and dispatches your medication for next-day delivery. The entire process typically completes within 24-48 hours, with prescription costs included in advertised prices.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Both Orlistat and Xenical require prescription approval following individual clinical assessment. Our prescribers evaluate BMI criteria (typically 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions), current medications, and contraindications. The assessment ensures treatment safety and appropriateness. Not everyone will be eligible - suitability depends on individual health circumstances and prescriber judgement.
