Which Should You Choose: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Facts
Orlistat and Xenical contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same 120mg dose. Both work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition in the gut. The only meaningful difference is price - generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering identical clinical effects. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Substantial Savings with Generic Orlistat
Generic orlistat provides exceptional value: 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you save £33 by choosing orlistat at £95.99 versus Xenical's £128.99. With EDM10 discount code, orlistat 12-week costs just £86.39 - excellent value for identical prescription-strength fat-blocking treatment.

Which Patients Choose Generic vs Branded
Most patients choose generic orlistat 120mg for the cost savings, particularly for longer treatment periods where the price difference becomes substantial. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for personal preference reasons. Clinically, both deliver identical fat-blocking effects when taken three times daily with main meals containing fat.
