Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical: Price Comparison
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: What's the Difference?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat provides the same clinical effect at a significantly lower price. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 - saving £9 monthly. For 12-week supplies, orlistat costs £86.39 compared to Xenical at £116.09, saving £29.70. Both require prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers at EverydayMeds.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Whilst clinically less potent than 120mg versions, Alli may suit those preferring a lower-strength starting point. 4-week Alli supply costs £26.09 with EDM10 discount.
Which Should You Choose?
Generic orlistat offers identical clinical benefits to Xenical at lower cost - most patients choose orlistat for value. Some prefer branded Xenical for personal preference. Both work identically when taken three times daily with main meals containing fat, alongside dietary changes. Your prescriber will determine suitability following online clinical assessment.
