Orlistat vs Xenical: Making Your Purchase Decision
What's the Difference Between Orlistat and Xenical?
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The only meaningful difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical but saves you approximately £9 per month. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and require prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber.
Orlistat 120mg Pricing - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat provides excellent value for weight management. Our pricing includes prescription consultation and next-day delivery: 2 weeks (42 capsules) £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) £57.59, and 12 weeks (252 capsules) £86.39 with EDM10 discount. This represents significant savings compared to Xenical while delivering identical clinical benefits.
Xenical 120mg - The Branded Choice
Some patients prefer branded Xenical manufactured by Roche. While clinically equivalent to generic orlistat, Xenical costs more: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, and 12 weeks £116.09 with EDM10. The additional cost reflects branding rather than superior effectiveness - both products work identically.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. Available without prescription, Alli costs £26.09 for 4 weeks, £49.49 for 8 weeks, or £116.99 for 12 weeks with EDM10. Consider Alli if you prefer starting with lower-strength treatment or experience side effects with 120mg products.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose generic orlistat for maximum value - identical effectiveness at lower cost. Choose Xenical if you specifically prefer branded medication despite higher cost. Choose Alli 60mg for lower-strength treatment or if 120mg products cause side effects. All options require commitment to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular exercise. Our UK-licensed prescribers will assess your suitability during online consultation.
