Which Orlistat Product Should You Choose?
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Facts
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The clinical effect is equivalent - both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche, while orlistat 120mg refers to generic versions that provide the same therapeutic benefit at a lower cost.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
The primary difference between these products is cost. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over a 12-week course, you could save £33.60 by choosing generic orlistat over Xenical when using our EDM10 discount code. Both options require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Should You Choose Generic or Branded?
Most patients choose generic orlistat 120mg for the cost savings, as it delivers identical clinical results to Xenical. Some patients prefer branded Xenical due to personal preference for the original formulation. Your prescriber can advise which option may be most suitable following your online consultation. Both are dispensed from our GPhC-registered pharmacy with the same quality standards and next day delivery service.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat and is available without prescription. While less potent than the 120mg options, Alli may be suitable for those preferring a lower-strength starting point. A 4-week supply costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). Your prescriber can advise whether 60mg or 120mg strength is most appropriate for your weight management goals.
