Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: What's the Difference?
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent medications containing identical active ingredients at the same dose. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. The primary difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same therapeutic effect as Xenical.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic orlistat provides excellent value for money. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. The same quantity of Xenical costs £42.99, or £38.69 with EDM10 - that's a saving of £9 per month by choosing generic orlistat. For a 12-week supply, orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £116.09 - saving over £29.
Which Should You Choose?
Both orlistat and Xenical require the same clinical assessment and prescription process. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Your prescriber can help determine the most suitable option during your online consultation. Both are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy with next day delivery available across the UK.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option containing half the dose of prescription orlistat. Whilst clinically less potent, it may suit those preferring a gentler starting point. A 4-week supply costs £26.09 with EDM10. However, for maximum effectiveness, most patients benefit from prescription-strength 120mg options.
