Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Generic Orlistat and branded Xenical work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals. The clinical effect is identical - the main difference is cost. Generic Orlistat offers significant savings, costing £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £38.69. Over 12 weeks, you save £29.70 choosing generic Orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09).
Which Should You Buy?
Choose generic Orlistat 120mg for maximum value - clinically equivalent to Xenical at a lower price. A 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic Orlistat for the cost savings. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Consider Alli 60mg (£26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10) if you prefer lower-strength orlistat as a starting point.

Same Treatment, Different Prices
Both work identically by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut to reduce dietary fat absorption by approximately one third. Take one capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat, alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Most patients find keeping meals to around 15g fat helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Whether you choose Orlistat or Xenical, the mechanism and dosing remain the same.
