Which Should You Choose: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules contain identical active ingredients at exactly the same dose. The clinical effect is the same - both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The primary difference is cost. Generic orlistat represents excellent value, whilst branded Xenical offers the same proven formula from manufacturer Roche.
Compare Our Discount Prices with Code EDM10
Generic orlistat 120mg delivers substantial savings over branded Xenical. With our EDM10 discount code, a 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £29.69 for orlistat compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you £9 per month. For 12-week supplies, orlistat costs £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09, representing £30 in savings. Both options include prescription following online clinical assessment and next day delivery from our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg capsules contain half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. This lower-strength option may suit those preferring a gentler starting point. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli requires no prescription but typically produces more modest results than 120mg prescription options. Your choice depends on your weight management goals and clinical suitability.

Success depends on maintaining a lower-fat diet with no more than 15g fat per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
