Compare Prices: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli

Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Medicine, Different Price

The key difference between orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg is cost - they contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. Generic orlistat offers substantial savings: a 12-week supply costs £86.39 (with EDM10) compared to £116.09 for Xenical. That's nearly £30 saved for the same clinical effect.

How Much Can You Save?

Our pricing comparison shows significant savings with generic orlistat across all pack sizes. For a 4-week supply, you'll pay £29.69 for orlistat versus £38.69 for Xenical - a £9 monthly saving. Over a typical 12-week treatment course, generic orlistat saves you £29.70 compared to branded Xenical, with identical weight management benefits alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative

Alli contains half the orlistat dose at 60mg per capsule. While less potent than prescription-strength options, it may suit those preferring a gentler starting point. Alli 60mg costs £116.99 for a 12-week supply (£26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10). However, the 120mg prescription options typically provide better value and clinical effect for weight management.

Which Should You Choose?

Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent - your choice depends on budget and preference. Generic orlistat provides identical fat-blocking benefits at a lower cost, making it the popular choice for most patients. Some prefer Xenical due to brand familiarity, though the clinical outcome remains the same when used alongside appropriate dietary changes.

Getting Your Prescription

All 120mg orlistat products require prescription following clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your online consultation to determine suitability. The prescription cost is included in our prices - no separate GP fees. Orders are dispensed from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next-day delivery available across the UK.
