Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Buy?
Same Medicine, Different Price: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at exactly the same dose. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition in the gut. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £38.69, saving you over £100 annually without any difference in clinical effectiveness.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Generic orlistat delivers identical clinical results at significantly lower cost. Our orlistat 120mg capsules are sourced through MHRA-regulated supply chains and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy. Available in 2-week (£15.20), 4-week (£29.69), 8-week (£57.59) and 12-week (£86.39) supplies with EDM10 discount. Perfect for those wanting maximum value without compromising on quality or effectiveness.
When to Consider Branded Xenical
Some patients prefer branded Xenical for peace of mind, recognising the Roche manufacturer name. Xenical costs £19.35 for 2 weeks, £38.69 for 4 weeks, £78.29 for 8 weeks, and £116.09 for 12 weeks (with EDM10). Both orlistat and Xenical require the same clinical assessment and work identically alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat with typically milder gastrointestinal side effects. Available at £26.09 for 4 weeks, £49.49 for 8 weeks, and £116.99 for 12 weeks (with EDM10). Alli may suit those preferring a gentler starting approach to fat absorption reduction.
Orlistat and Keto Diet Considerations
While orlistat works by blocking dietary fat absorption, keto diets are typically high in fat content. This combination may increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools and urgent bowel movements. Discuss with your prescriber whether orlistat is suitable alongside your specific dietary approach, as the medication works best with lower-fat meals containing approximately 15g fat per meal.
