Orlistat vs Xenical: The Facts
When comparing orlistat duration of treatment options, both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg offer identical clinical effects. Both contain the same active ingredient at the same dose and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The primary difference lies in cost - generic orlistat provides substantial savings over the branded alternative.
Treatment Duration Options Available
Both orlistat and Xenical are available in multiple treatment durations to suit your weight management plan. Our 2-week supply (42 capsules) allows you to trial the treatment, whilst 4-week (84 capsules), 8-week (168 capsules) and 12-week (252 capsules) options provide extended treatment courses. Each capsule is taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Orlistat 120mg Pricing
Generic orlistat offers exceptional value: 2 weeks costs £15.20, 4 weeks £29.69, 8 weeks £57.59, and 12 weeks £86.39 (all prices with EDM10 discount). This prescription-strength medication provides the same fat-blocking effect as Xenical at a fraction of the cost, making it the preferred choice for cost-conscious patients.
Xenical 120mg Pricing
Branded Xenical costs: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, and 12 weeks £116.09 (with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option manufactured by Roche. Both products require the same online clinical assessment and are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Alli 60mg Alternative
For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription orlistat. Available in 4-week (£26.09), 8-week (£49.49) and 12-week (£116.99) supplies with EDM10 discount. This option may produce milder gastrointestinal side effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
