Which Should You Buy: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Effect, Different Price
When comparing Alli weight loss costs, the key decision is between generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg. Both contain exactly the same active ingredient (orlistat) at identical doses, providing clinically equivalent effects. The primary difference is cost - generic orlistat offers substantial savings whilst delivering the same fat-blocking benefits.
Orlistat 120mg Pricing (Generic)
Generic orlistat represents exceptional value for prescription weight loss treatment. Our Leicester pharmacy supplies orlistat at: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £16.89 or £15.20 with EDM10; 4 weeks (84 capsules) £32.99 or £29.69 with EDM10; 8 weeks (168 capsules) £63.99 or £57.59 with EDM10; 12 weeks (252 capsules) £95.99 or £86.39 with EDM10. These prices include prescription and next day delivery.
Xenical 120mg Pricing (Branded)
Xenical, manufactured by Roche, costs more than generic orlistat but provides identical clinical benefits. Xenical pricing: 2 weeks £21.50 or £19.35 with EDM10; 4 weeks £42.99 or £38.69 with EDM10; 8 weeks £86.99 or £78.29 with EDM10; 12 weeks £128.99 or £116.09 with EDM10. Some patients prefer branded medication, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, offering a gentler introduction to fat-blocking treatment. Alli 60mg costs: 4 weeks £28.99 or £26.09 with EDM10; 8 weeks £54.99 or £49.49 with EDM10; 12 weeks £129.99 or £116.99 with EDM10. While less potent than 120mg formulations, Alli may suit those preferring lower-strength treatment.
How All Three Products Work
Orlistat, Xenical and Alli work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, potentially supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Treatment works best when combined with healthy eating and regular physical activity. All formulations require clinical assessment before prescription.
Choosing Your Treatment
Generic orlistat 120mg offers maximum value without compromising clinical effect. Xenical 120mg provides the same benefits at higher cost for those preferring branded medication. Alli 60mg suits patients wanting lower-strength treatment. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess suitability during online consultation, recommending the most appropriate option for your circumstances.
