Choose Your Orlistat: Generic vs Branded Comparison
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Essential Facts
When comparing orlistat and Xenical, you're essentially choosing between generic and branded versions of the same medication. Both contain 120mg orlistat as the active ingredient and work identically - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption to support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
The primary difference lies in cost. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for a 2-week supply with code EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £19.35 for the same period. Over a 12-week treatment course, choosing generic orlistat saves you approximately £30 compared to Xenical.
Which Should You Buy: Price Comparison
Generic Orlistat 120mg pricing: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £57.59, 12 weeks (252 capsules) £86.39 - all prices include 10% EDM10 discount.
Xenical 120mg pricing: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, 12 weeks £116.09 with EDM10. The choice depends on your budget preference - both deliver identical clinical results following prescription by our qualified UK prescribers.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription orlistat. Priced from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli may suit individuals wanting to start with a gentler approach, though clinical effectiveness is correspondingly reduced compared to 120mg formulations.
