Orlistat vs Xenical: Making Your Purchase Decision
Same Medicine, Different Price: The Facts
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and require the same prescription process. The key difference is cost – generic orlistat offers substantial savings without compromising clinical effectiveness.
Price Comparison: Your Savings with Generic Orlistat
At EverydayMeds, generic orlistat costs £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical – saving you £9 monthly. For longer treatments, choose our 12-week supply: generic orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09, saving £29.70 per 12-week course. Both options include the prescription and next day delivery.
Which Should You Choose?
Generic orlistat 120mg is the cost-effective choice offering identical clinical benefits to Xenical. Some patients prefer the branded option, while others prioritise value with generic orlistat. Both require the same online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers and work identically when taken three times daily with meals containing fat.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Consider Alli 60mg if you prefer starting with a lower dose. At half the strength of prescription orlistat, Alli costs £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10. While less potent than 120mg options, Alli may suit those wanting a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment.

All Options Work the Same Way
Whether you choose generic orlistat, Xenical, or Alli, all contain the lipase inhibitor orlistat that works in your digestive system. Each blocks dietary fat absorption when taken with meals, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Individual responses vary, and clinical assessment determines suitability.
