Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Choose?
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - The Facts
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The clinical effect is exactly the same - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The primary difference is cost: generic orlistat from £15.20 for 2 weeks versus Xenical at £19.35 with EDM10. Some patients prefer the branded option, whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value.
How Much Fat Should You Eat on Orlistat?
Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal (around 30% of daily calories from fat) spread evenly across three main meals. High-fat meals significantly increase gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools and urgent bowel movements. Both orlistat and Xenical work identically - taking either with lower-fat meals helps minimise side effects whilst supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie diet.
Orlistat Pricing - Best Value Options
Generic orlistat 120mg offers substantial savings: 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 versus Xenical at £38.69. For 12-week treatment, save over £29 choosing orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). Both require the same online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers and provide identical clinical benefits for weight management.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the orlistat dose of prescription-strength products. Whilst less potent at blocking dietary fat, it may suit those preferring a gentler starting approach. Alli costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg or Xenical typically provide more effective weight management support.
