Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
When choosing between orlistat and Xenical, the most important factor is cost. Both contain orlistat 120mg as the active ingredient and work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat 84 capsules costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical 84 capsules costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - saving you around £9 per month with the generic option.
Which Should You Buy?
Choose generic orlistat if you want the most cost-effective option without compromising on clinical effect. The generic version offers identical weight management support alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Choose Xenical if you prefer the branded option from Roche. Both require the same online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber and are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10), Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to the 120mg prescription versions. Some patients prefer starting with the lower-strength option before progressing to prescription orlistat or Xenical following clinical assessment.
