Xenical and orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat provides clinically equivalent weight management support from £15.20 for 2 weeks (with code EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £19.35. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. These fat-blocking capsules may help reduce absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Clinical Effect

Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same dose. They work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.

Cost Comparison: Generic Saves Money

Generic orlistat offers significant savings over branded Xenical. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £29.69 for orlistat vs £38.69 for Xenical with code EDM10 - saving over £100 annually. For 12-week supplies, choose orlistat at £86.39 or Xenical at £116.09. Both require the same clinical assessment and provide identical weight management support.

Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative

Alli contains orlistat at half the prescription dose (60mg vs 120mg). This lower-strength option costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. While milder than prescription-strength orlistat, it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat and may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting approach to weight management.
