Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Effect, Different Price
The question "is Xenical better than orlistat?" has a straightforward answer: both contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same 120mg dose. Clinically, they work identically - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption to support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The key difference lies in cost, with generic orlistat offering substantial savings over branded Xenical.
2-Week Supply Options
Starting with a shorter supply allows you to assess tolerance. Generic orlistat 42 capsules costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while Xenical 42 capsules costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This 2-week trial period helps determine suitability before committing to longer supplies.
4-Week Supply Comparison
Our most popular starter option: Generic orlistat 84 capsules at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) versus Xenical 84 capsules at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). You save £10 monthly by choosing generic orlistat while receiving identical clinical benefits. Both require the same dosing: one capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat.
8-Week Supply Benefits
Medium-term supplies offer better value per capsule. Generic orlistat 168 capsules costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), while Xenical 168 capsules costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Choose the 8-week pack if you've successfully used orlistat previously and want to balance cost savings with flexibility.
12-Week Supply Maximum Savings
Our best value option for established users: Generic orlistat 252 capsules at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) versus Xenical 252 capsules at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). You save £42.60 every 12 weeks by choosing generic orlistat - that's over £170 annually. All 120mg orlistat products require prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg Alternative
For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription orlistat. Available in 4-week (£28.99), 8-week (£54.99), and 12-week (£129.99) supplies. While less potent than 120mg versions, Alli may suit those wanting gentler introduction to orlistat therapy with typically milder gastrointestinal effects.
