Generic vs Branded: Make Your Choice Today
What Does Xenical Do to Your Body?
Xenical contains 120mg orlistat that works locally in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Importantly, generic orlistat 120mg works identically - both inhibit lipase enzymes in exactly the same way. Whether you choose Xenical or generic orlistat, the effect on your body is clinically equivalent when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
The primary difference between these options is cost. Our 4-week supplies show significant savings with generic orlistat at £29.69 (with EDM10) versus Xenical at £38.69 (with EDM10) - that's £9 monthly savings. For 12-week supplies, choose generic orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09 with code EDM10. Both require the same online clinical assessment and prescription from UK-licensed prescribers.
Which Should You Buy?
Choose generic orlistat 120mg if you want maximum value - it's clinically identical to Xenical at a lower price. Our 2-week starter pack costs just £15.20 with EDM10. Choose branded Xenical if you prefer the original Roche product and don't mind paying extra for the brand name. Both are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy following prescriber approval.
Alternative: Alli 60mg Lower-Strength Option
Consider Alli 60mg if you prefer starting with half the prescription strength. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, it may cause milder side effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside dietary changes. However, it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg options.
