Which Orlistat Should You Choose? Price Comparison
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The key difference is price - generic orlistat offers significant savings without compromising clinical effectiveness. Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche, whilst orlistat is the generic equivalent produced by various licensed manufacturers.

Alli 60mg: Lower Strength Alternative
For those preferring a gentler starting dose, Alli 60mg offers half the strength of prescription orlistat. At £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10), Alli may suit those new to orlistat treatment or experiencing side effects with the full-strength version. However, the lower dose blocks less dietary fat absorption compared to 120mg formulations.
How Both Options Work
Whether you choose generic orlistat or branded Xenical, the mechanism remains identical. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, potentially supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
