Orlistat vs Xenical: Make Your Choice
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical: The Facts
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is equivalent - the main difference is cost.
Pricing Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic Orlistat offers significant savings over branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply (84 capsules), Orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you could save over £29 by choosing generic Orlistat. Both options include the prescription - no separate GP fee required.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Most patients choose generic Orlistat for the cost savings. At £95.99 for 12 weeks (£86.39 with code EDM10), it provides the same fat-blocking effect as Xenical at a fraction of the cost. Manufactured to the same UK standards and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Why Some Prefer Branded Xenical
Some patients prefer Xenical as the original branded version manufactured by Roche. Whilst clinically identical to generic Orlistat, brand preference may influence choice. Xenical 12-week supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10).
Consider Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli contains 60mg orlistat - half the prescription strength. This lower-dose option may suit those preferring to start with reduced potency. Alli 4-week supply costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), with 8 and 12-week packs available.
