Which Should You Choose: Generic or Branded?
Effectiveness: Orlistat vs Xenical - Clinically Identical
Both Orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work through the same mechanism - inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Clinical effectiveness is identical between generic Orlistat and branded Xenical when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Price Comparison: Substantial Savings with Generic Orlistat
The primary difference lies in cost. Generic Orlistat 120mg offers significant savings compared to branded Xenical. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £32.99 for Orlistat versus £42.99 for Xenical - that's £10 monthly savings. With our EDM10 discount code, you'll pay just £29.69 for Orlistat compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Over a 12-week course, generic Orlistat saves you approximately £30 compared to Xenical whilst delivering identical clinical results.

Consider Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
If you prefer starting with a lower dose, Alli 60mg offers half the strength of prescription orlistat. Whilst less potent than 120mg formulations, Alli may be suitable for those wanting a gentler introduction to lipase inhibitor treatment. Alli 60mg costs £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). Your prescriber can advise whether 60mg or 120mg strength is most appropriate following your clinical assessment.
Making Your Decision: Value vs Brand Preference
Most patients choose generic Orlistat for its excellent value whilst receiving identical clinical benefits. Some prefer branded Xenical for personal reasons. Both require the same prescription process - completion of our online health questionnaire followed by review from a UK-licensed prescriber. If suitable, your chosen treatment is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered with next-day tracked delivery. Both options work best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
