Generic Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Facts
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - but generic orlistat offers significant savings.
Price Comparison: How Much You'll Save
Generic orlistat from £29.69 for 4 weeks (was £32.99) with code EDM10. Branded Xenical costs £38.69 for 4 weeks (was £42.99) with the same discount. Over a typical 12-week course, you'll save approximately £29.70 by choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). Both require a prescription following online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber.
Which Should You Choose?
Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings without compromising on clinical effect. Some prefer branded Xenical - both are clinically equivalent options. If you're new to orlistat treatment, you might also consider Alli 60mg as a lower-strength starting option at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10.

How Orlistat Works - Generic and Branded
Whether you choose generic orlistat or Xenical, the mechanism is identical. Both inhibit lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This may help reduce calorie intake from fat when combined with a lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
