Generic vs Branded: Making Your Decision
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Clinical Facts
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Clinically, they are equivalent - the unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
The main difference between orlistat and Xenical is cost. Our 84-capsule pack (4-week supply) costs £32.99 for generic orlistat versus £42.99 for branded Xenical. With our EDM10 discount code, you pay just £29.69 for orlistat compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you £9 every month. Over a 12-week programme, choosing generic orlistat saves £27 whilst delivering identical clinical benefits.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose at 60mg orlistat per capsule. This lower strength may cause milder gastrointestinal side effects but blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to prescription-strength options. Our 84-capsule Alli pack costs £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), providing 8 weeks of treatment at the lower dose.
Which Should You Choose?
Both orlistat and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for peace of mind, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value without compromising effectiveness. Your prescriber will determine suitability based on your BMI, medical history and weight-related health factors during the online consultation process.
