Orlistat vs Xenical: Making Your Purchase Decision
Orlistat and Xenical: The Key Differences
When choosing orlistat weight loss treatment, understanding the difference between generic orlistat and branded Xenical helps you make an informed purchase decision. Both contain identical 120mg orlistat as the active ingredient and work in exactly the same way - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The key difference lies in cost and manufacturer preference.
Generic orlistat 120mg capsules cost £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with EDM10 discount, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same quantity. Over 12 weeks, generic orlistat costs £86.39 compared to Xenical at £116.09 - saving over £29 per treatment course.
Which Orlistat Treatment Should You Buy?
Both orlistat and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment. Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Generic orlistat offers excellent value whilst Xenical provides the branded option manufactured by Roche. Clinically, both treatments are equivalent and work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system.
For those preferring a lower-strength starting point, Alli 60mg offers half the dose at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. However, prescription-strength 120mg orlistat provides more comprehensive fat blocking support for weight management.
