Orlistat vs Xenical: Make Your Choice Today
Same Medicine, Different Price: The Facts
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through the same mechanism — inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. The clinical effect is equivalent, making this purely a price decision. Orlistat 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £29.69 with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 — saving you £9 monthly by choosing generic.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Maximum value without compromising effectiveness. Our generic orlistat offers the same weight management support as Xenical at significantly lower cost. A 12-week course saves over £30 compared to branded Xenical (£86.39 vs £116.09 with EDM10). All orlistat is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
When Patients Choose Xenical
Some patients prefer branded medication from Roche, particularly those familiar with the Xenical name. Clinical outcomes remain identical to generic orlistat, but branded preference may provide additional confidence. Xenical 84 capsules costs £38.69 with EDM10 — still competitively priced for a branded prescription medicine with next day delivery included.
Consider Alli 60mg as Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the orlistat dose (60mg vs 120mg) and may suit those preferring gentler introduction to fat-blocking medication. Alli 84 capsules (8-week supply) costs £49.49 with EDM10. Whilst less potent than prescription-strength options, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat with typically milder gastrointestinal effects.
