Which Orlistat Option Should You Choose?
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Facts
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work through the same mechanism - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The clinical benefits are equivalent, making this primarily a cost consideration rather than an effectiveness decision.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
Generic orlistat offers substantial savings over branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply, orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over a 12-week treatment period, choosing generic orlistat saves approximately £33 compared to Xenical - £95.99 vs £128.99 before discount. With code EDM10, you'll save even more: orlistat 12-week supply costs just £86.39 compared to Xenical's £116.09.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Generic orlistat provides identical weight management support at a lower cost. Manufactured to the same stringent UK standards as branded alternatives, it offers the same fat-blocking benefits when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Many patients prefer the cost-effectiveness of generic orlistat, especially for longer treatment periods. Our 8-week supply at £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) represents excellent value for sustained weight management support.
When Patients Choose Xenical
Some patients prefer branded Xenical for personal preference or familiarity with the Roche brand name. The capsules are identical in strength and effect, but Xenical may provide additional confidence for those who prefer established pharmaceutical brands. Both options require the same clinical assessment and prescription process.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
For those considering a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. Priced at £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10), Alli may cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects whilst still supporting weight management. However, the lower dose also means reduced fat-blocking activity compared to 120mg options.
