Which Should You Choose: Orlistat or Xenical?
Identical Clinical Effect - Different Price Point
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules 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 - the only meaningful difference is cost.
Orlistat Capsules Price Comparison
Generic orlistat offers substantial savings over branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply (84 capsules), orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you'll save £29.70 choosing generic orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09 with our EDM10 discount code.
When Patients Choose Xenical Over Generic
Some patients prefer branded Xenical despite the higher cost. This may be due to familiarity with the Roche brand name or personal preference for branded medications. Clinically, both products are equivalent - your prescriber can discuss which option suits your preferences and budget during your online consultation.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose at 60mg orlistat per capsule. At £49.49 for 8 weeks with EDM10, it offers a lower-strength starting point for those preferring a gentler approach. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg provide more potent fat-blocking effects for eligible patients.
