Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The key difference lies in branding and cost. Generic orlistat offers the same fat-blocking mechanism as branded Xenical but at significantly lower prices. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 for orlistat versus £38.69 for Xenical (with EDM10 discount), representing monthly savings of £9.
How Quickly Does Orlistat Work Compared to Xenical?
Since both products contain identical 120mg orlistat doses, they work at exactly the same rate. Both block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. The fat-blocking effect begins with your first dose when taken with meals containing fat. Neither product burns existing fat stores - instead, they reduce calorie intake from dietary fat to support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Which Should You Choose: Generic or Branded?
Your choice between orlistat and Xenical depends primarily on budget and preference. Generic orlistat provides identical clinical effects at lower cost, making it our most popular option. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for peace of mind. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Our 8-week orlistat supply costs £57.59 versus £78.29 for Xenical (with EDM10), offering substantial long-term savings.
Alternative Option: Alli 60mg
For those seeking a lower-strength starting point, Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. Whilst clinically less potent, it may suit individuals preferring gentler introduction to fat-blocking treatment. Our 8-week Alli supply costs £49.49 with EDM10 discount.
