Which Should You Buy: Generic Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Clinical Facts
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. 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 preferences.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
Generic orlistat offers substantial savings over branded Xenical. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £29.69 with EDM10 versus Xenical at £38.69 - saving you £9 monthly. Over 12 weeks, you'll save £29.70 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) over Xenical (£116.09). Both require the same prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the orlistat dose at 60mg per capsule. While clinically less potent than prescription-strength options, it may suit those preferring a gentler starting point. Alli 4-week supply costs £26.09 with EDM10. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg typically offers better value per milligram of active ingredient.
