Compare Prices: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Medicine, Different Price
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
The key difference lies in cost. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as Xenical but at a significantly lower price point. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - representing £9 monthly savings with the generic option.
Price Comparison: All Options
Orlistat 120mg pricing: 2 weeks £15.20, 4 weeks £29.69, 8 weeks £57.59, 12 weeks £86.39 (with EDM10 discount). Xenical 120mg pricing: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, 12 weeks £116.09 (with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative: 4 weeks £26.09, 8 weeks £49.49, 12 weeks £116.99 (with EDM10).
Which Should You Choose?
Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Generic orlistat provides identical clinical benefits to Xenical whilst offering substantial cost savings over time. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. Both require prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber through our online consultation process.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Option
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it a lower-strength starting point. Whilst less potent than 120mg options, it may suit those preferring a gentler approach to weight management. All three products work best when combined with a healthy, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
