Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Facts
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The primary difference is cost - generic Orlistat provides the same clinical effect at a significantly lower price point.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic Orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (84 capsules), reduced to £29.69 with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for the same 4-week supply, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. This means choosing generic Orlistat saves approximately £9 monthly whilst providing identical clinical benefits.
Which Should You Choose?
Both options require prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. If cost is your priority, generic Orlistat delivers the same weight management support at better value. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for peace of mind. Either choice provides prescription-strength fat absorption blocking when used correctly alongside dietary changes.
Alternative Option: Alli 60mg
For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription orlistat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli offers a gentler starting point with typically milder gastrointestinal effects, though with proportionally reduced fat-blocking capacity.
