Choose Your Orlistat Treatment: Generic or Branded
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Facts
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically identical weight loss treatments. Both contain orlistat as the active ingredient at the same 120mg dose. The primary difference lies in cost – generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at a lower price point. Following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, both options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Save with Generic Orlistat
Generic orlistat provides significant savings compared to branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply, orlistat costs £29.69 (with EDM10) versus Xenical at £38.69 – saving £9 per month. Over 12 weeks, choose orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09, saving £29.70. Both options include prescription following online clinical assessment.

Which Should You Choose?
Your choice between orlistat and Xenical may depend on personal preference and budget. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. Both deliver identical clinical outcomes when used correctly alongside dietary changes. Our UK-licensed prescribers will assess suitability for either option during your online consultation. Both treatments require commitment to a lower-fat diet to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Alternative: Alli 60mg
Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative containing half the orlistat dose of prescription treatments. Available from £26.09 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), Alli may suit those preferring to start with lower-dose treatment. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg typically provides more significant fat-blocking effects for eligible adults with higher BMIs.
