Choose Your Orlistat: Generic vs Branded Comparison
What Are Xenical 120mg Used For?
Xenical 120mg capsules are used for weight management in adults with obesity (BMI 30+) or overweight adults (BMI 28+) with weight-related health conditions. Xenical works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The primary difference is cost. Generic orlistat at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for 84 capsules offers substantial savings compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both products work identically - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed into your body.
Price Comparison: Maximum Savings
Our pricing demonstrates significant potential savings with generic orlistat. For a 12-week supply, orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). That's nearly £30 savings over 12 weeks by choosing generic orlistat. Both require the same online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10) for 8 weeks, Alli offers a lower-strength option that may suit those preferring to start with reduced potency. However, prescription-strength 120mg products typically provide more significant support for weight management goals.
