Generic vs Branded: Making Your Decision
Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Clinically, they work in exactly the same way - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The primary difference is cost, with generic Orlistat offering significant savings.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic Orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4 weeks), or £29.69 with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for the same quantity, or £38.69 with EDM10. Over a 12-week course, you could save over £25 by choosing generic Orlistat whilst receiving identical clinical benefits.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat?
Generic Orlistat provides the same fat-blocking mechanism as Xenical at a lower price point. Manufactured to identical quality standards and regulated by the MHRA, generic medicines undergo rigorous testing to ensure bioequivalence with branded versions. Many patients prefer the cost-effective option without compromising on clinical effectiveness.
When Might Xenical Be Preferred?
Some patients prefer branded Xenical for personal reasons or previous familiarity with the product. Both require the same clinical assessment and provide identical weight management support when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At 60mg, it may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting approach. Available from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli offers another option in your weight management journey.
