Compare Prices: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: What's the Difference?
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals. The only significant difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at a lower price.
Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 84 capsules (4-week supply) with code EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 for the same quantity. Over 12 weeks, this saves you approximately £27 by choosing orlistat over Xenical. Both require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.

Should You Choose Orlistat or Xenical?
Most patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings without compromising effectiveness. Some prefer branded Xenical from manufacturer Roche. Both are clinically equivalent prescription medicines that may help support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Our prescribers can discuss both options during your online consultation. Treatment suitability is assessed individually based on BMI and health circumstances.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. Available without prescription, it costs £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10. While less potent than 120mg versions, Alli may suit those preferring a lower-strength starting point with typically milder side effects.
