Orlistat vs Xenical: Make Your Purchase Decision
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Key Facts
When comparing orlistat and Xenical, the most important fact is that both contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same 120mg dose. Clinically, they work identically - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition. The primary difference lies in cost and branding. Generic orlistat offers significant savings, with 4-week supplies costing £29.69 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £38.69.

Which Should You Choose?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg require prescription following clinical assessment and work identically. Some patients prefer branded Xenical whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. The decision often comes down to personal preference and budget considerations. Both are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy with next day delivery available across the UK.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains orlistat at half the prescription strength (60mg instead of 120mg). It blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to prescription-strength versions. Alli 60mg costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Some people prefer starting with lower-strength Alli, whilst others choose full-strength orlistat 120mg or Xenical for maximum effect alongside their reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
