Generic Orlistat or Branded Xenical: Your Choice
Orlistat vs Xenical: Identical Medicine, Different Price
The key difference between orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg is cost - both contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical but costs significantly less. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you over £100 annually. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How Much Can You Save?
Generic orlistat provides substantial savings versus branded Xenical. For a 12-week supply, orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10 whilst Xenical costs £116.09 - nearly £30 more for identical clinical outcomes. Over a year of treatment, choosing generic orlistat saves approximately £120 compared to Xenical. Both require the same clinical assessment and prescription process through our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, offering a lower-strength option for weight management. At £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, Alli provides an accessible starting point. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg typically offer greater fat-blocking potential for eligible patients following clinical assessment.
Same Clinical Assessment Process
Whether you choose generic orlistat or branded Xenical, the online prescription process remains identical. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, BMI, and current medications. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your information and issue prescriptions where clinically appropriate. Both medications are suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions, subject to individual clinical assessment.

Which Should You Choose?
Choose generic orlistat 120mg for maximum value - clinically identical to Xenical but significantly cheaper. Select branded Xenical 120mg if you prefer the original Roche formulation. Consider Alli 60mg for a lower-strength starting option. All three require different approaches: prescription-strength versions need clinical assessment whilst Alli is available without prescription.
