Which Should You Choose: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Facts
Both Orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical strength. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the main difference lies in cost and branding preference.
Price Comparison: Generic vs Branded
Generic Orlistat offers significant savings over branded Xenical. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £32.99 for Orlistat versus £42.99 for Xenical. With our EDM10 discount code, you pay just £29.69 for generic Orlistat compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you £9 per month. For a 12-week supply, generic Orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10 versus £116.09 for Xenical, representing £30 in savings.
Who Should Choose Generic Orlistat?
Generic Orlistat 120mg is ideal if you want maximum value without compromising on clinical effectiveness. Many patients prefer generic versions for the substantial cost savings while receiving identical treatment outcomes. Our generic Orlistat is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy, ensuring the same quality standards as any branded alternative.
Who Might Prefer Branded Xenical?
Some patients prefer Xenical as the original branded version manufactured by Roche. While clinically equivalent to generic Orlistat, Xenical may appeal to those who prefer established brand recognition or have previously used this specific version successfully. The higher price reflects branding rather than superior clinical performance.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
Alli 60mg capsules provide half the strength of prescription Orlistat, offering a lower-dose option for those preferring to start with reduced potency. At £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, Alli may suit those wanting a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment with typically milder gastrointestinal effects.
