Compare Prices: Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Facts
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same dose. They work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison - Save with Generic Orlistat
Generic orlistat offers significant savings compared to branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply (84 capsules), orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - saving you over £9 monthly. For a 12-week supply, the savings increase to over £30. Both require the same prescription process and deliver identical clinical results.
Which Should You Choose?
Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Generic orlistat provides the same clinical effect as Xenical at a lower cost - perfect for long-term weight management. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for reassurance, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. Both are prescribed following the same clinical assessment and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, it offers a lower-strength starting option. Whilst less potent than 120mg versions, Alli may suit those preferring a gentler approach to weight management.
