Which Should You Choose: Generic or Branded Orlistat?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
When searching for the best price for weight loss medication, understanding the difference between orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg is crucial for making an informed purchase decision. Both medications contain exactly the same active ingredient - orlistat 120mg - and work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system.
The primary difference lies in cost. Generic orlistat 120mg offers significant savings compared to branded Xenical, with a 4-week supply costing £29.69 (with EDM10) versus £38.69 for Xenical - saving you over £100 annually whilst receiving identical clinical benefits.
Price Comparison: Your Savings Breakdown
Generic orlistat 120mg pricing: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £57.59, 12 weeks (252 capsules) £86.39 - all with EDM10 discount code.
Xenical 120mg pricing: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, 12 weeks £116.09 - with EDM10 applied.
Choose generic orlistat and save approximately £9 monthly, £27 quarterly, or £108 annually compared to branded Xenical, receiving exactly the same weight management support alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet programme.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
For those preferring a gentler starting point, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. Priced at £26.09 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), Alli may be suitable for individuals seeking a lower-strength fat absorption blocker with typically milder gastrointestinal side effects.

Making Your Decision: Generic vs Branded
Clinical studies demonstrate identical efficacy between generic orlistat and branded Xenical. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system.
Choose generic orlistat 120mg for maximum value without compromising effectiveness, or select Xenical if you prefer the branded option. Both require the same commitment to a lower-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal) to minimise gastrointestinal side effects and maximise weight management support.
