Generic vs Branded: Making Your Purchase Decision
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Essential Facts
When ordering orlistat online, you'll encounter two prescription options: generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg. Both contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The clinical effect is equivalent - both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
The primary difference lies in cost. Generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same therapeutic benefit. At EverydayMeds, generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 84 capsules (4-week supply) with code EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical - a monthly saving of £9.
Price Comparison: Your Ordering Options
Generic Orlistat 120mg pricing: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £15.20 with EDM10, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £29.69 with EDM10, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £57.59 with EDM10, 12 weeks (252 capsules) £86.39 with EDM10.
Branded Xenical 120mg pricing: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £19.35 with EDM10, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £38.69 with EDM10, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £78.29 with EDM10, 12 weeks (252 capsules) £116.09 with EDM10.
Both options require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Your choice depends on personal preference and budget considerations.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
For those considering a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription orlistat. Alli pricing: 4 weeks (42 capsules) £26.09 with EDM10, 8 weeks (84 capsules) £49.49 with EDM10, 12 weeks (252 capsules) £116.99 with EDM10. This lower dose may result in milder gastrointestinal side effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside dietary changes.
