Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Choose?
How Do Orlistat Tablets Work?
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules work by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat from being absorbed. They contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way - inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut to prevent fat digestion. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Both may support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Real Difference
The clinical effect is identical - both block the same amount of dietary fat. The difference is cost and branding. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the same weight management support at a significantly lower price. A 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). That's over £100 saved annually choosing generic orlistat over branded Xenical.
Orlistat Pricing - All Pack Sizes Available

All prices include prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. While less potent than 120mg versions, it may suit those preferring a lower-strength starting point. Prices from £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All three options - generic orlistat, Xenical, and Alli - work by the same mechanism but at different strengths.
