Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Your Buying Guide
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: Identical Treatment, Different Prices
When choosing between orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg, you're comparing clinically identical treatments. Both contain exactly the same active ingredient - orlistat - at the same 120mg dose. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
The primary difference is cost. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £15.20 for a 2-week supply (with EDM10 discount), whilst branded Xenical costs £19.35 for the same period. Over a 12-week course, you could save up to £30 by choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09).
Which Should You Buy: Orlistat or Xenical?
Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value whilst delivering the same clinical benefits as Xenical. Some patients prefer the reassurance of the established Xenical brand, manufactured by Roche. Both require a prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Consider Alli 60mg as a lower-strength alternative if you prefer starting with half the prescription dose. Alli contains 60mg orlistat per capsule and is available from £26.09 for a 4-week supply (with EDM10).

How Both Treatments Work With Your Diet
Whether you choose orlistat or Xenical, both work best when each meal contains no more than approximately 15g fat. This minimises gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising weight management benefits. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Skip the dose if a meal contains no fat.
