Which Should You Buy: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Effect, Different Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect at a significantly lower price. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you over £9 monthly.
How Long Should You Take Orlistat or Xenical?
Treatment duration is typically 12 weeks initially for both products. Your prescriber will assess your progress and determine whether to continue treatment. Some patients may use orlistat or Xenical for longer periods under medical supervision. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken three times daily with meals containing fat.
Treatment Options Available
Choose from multiple pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. Orlistat 120mg starts at £15.20 for 2 weeks (42 capsules) or £86.39 for 12 weeks (252 capsules) with EDM10. Xenical 120mg costs £19.35 for 2 weeks or £116.09 for 12 weeks with the same discount code. For those preferring lower strength, Alli 60mg provides a gentler alternative at £26.09 for 4 weeks.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat?
Generic orlistat delivers identical clinical results to Xenical whilst offering substantial savings. Both are manufactured to the same rigorous standards and contain 120mg orlistat per capsule. The generic version saves approximately £30 over a 12-week course compared to branded Xenical. Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost benefits without compromising on effectiveness.
