Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
The key difference between orlistat and Xenical is price, not clinical effect. Both contain 120mg orlistat as the active ingredient and work identically by blocking 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 you £108 annually.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Generic orlistat delivers the same clinical benefits as Xenical at significantly lower cost. Priced from £15.20 for 2 weeks with code EDM10, it's the most cost-effective option for weight management. Our 12-week supply at £86.39 represents excellent value for sustained treatment. All generic orlistat is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
When Patients Choose Xenical
Some patients prefer branded Xenical manufactured by Roche. Whilst clinically identical to generic orlistat, Xenical costs £19.35 for 2 weeks with EDM10. Both options require the same online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers and work alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for optimal weight management support.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. This lower-strength option costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Whilst less potent than 120mg formulations, Alli may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point. All three options block dietary fat absorption but work best when fat intake per meal stays around 15g.
