Which Orlistat Product Should You Choose?
Generic Orlistat 120mg vs Branded Xenical: The Key Differences
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, making them clinically equivalent. The primary difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers savings of approximately £9 per month compared to Xenical. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it suitable for those preferring a gentler approach to weight management. At 60mg per capsule, Alli typically produces milder gastrointestinal side effects while still supporting weight loss alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. A 4-week supply costs £26.09 with code EDM10, positioning it between the two prescription options in terms of pricing.
Cost Comparison Across All Three Options
For 4-week supplies with EDM10 discount: Generic orlistat 120mg £29.69, Alli 60mg £26.09, and Xenical 120mg £38.69. The 8-week supplies offer better value: generic orlistat £57.59, Alli £49.49, and Xenical £78.29. For maximum savings, 12-week supplies provide the most cost-effective option with generic orlistat at £86.39, Alli at £116.99, and Xenical at £116.09.
Which Strength is Right for You?
Prescription-strength orlistat and Xenical at 120mg may be suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Alli 60mg offers flexibility for those wanting to start with lower-strength treatment. Your prescriber will assess which option suits your individual circumstances during the clinical consultation process.
