Compare Prices: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli
Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and require the same prescription process. The only meaningful difference is cost - choosing generic orlistat over Xenical saves approximately £9 per month whilst delivering identical clinical benefits.
Price Comparison - Which Offers Better Value?
Our pricing clearly shows the savings available with generic orlistat. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, orlistat costs £86.39 compared to Xenical at £116.09 - a saving of nearly £30. Both medications work identically, so the choice often comes down to personal preference and budget.
Alli 60mg - The Lower Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Whilst less potent than prescription-strength options, it offers a gentler introduction for some patients. Alli costs £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10. However, the lower dose means it blocks less dietary fat compared to the 120mg prescription options.
How to Decide Between Orlistat and Xenical
Both medications require the same online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Consider generic orlistat if you want maximum value without compromising effectiveness.
