Which Orlistat Should You Choose? Price Comparison
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: Identical Clinical Effect
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Clinically, there is no difference in effectiveness between generic orlistat and branded Xenical.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings with Generic Orlistat
The main difference lies in cost. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over a 12-week course, you save £33 choosing orlistat over Xenical. Both require the same prescription process and clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At 60mg, it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat and typically causes milder side effects. Alli 60mg costs £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). Some patients prefer starting with the lower dose before progressing to prescription strength.
Dosage Duration: How Long Does Each Pack Last?
All orlistat products are taken three times daily with main meals containing fat. Pack durations are: 42 capsules = 2 weeks supply, 84 capsules = 4 weeks, 168 capsules = 8 weeks, 252 capsules = 12 weeks. Most patients start with 4-week supplies to assess tolerance before ordering longer courses.
