Which Orlistat Product Offers Best Value?
Generic Orlistat 120mg vs Branded Xenical
Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, making them clinically equivalent. The key difference lies in cost savings. With code EDM10, generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to Xenical at £38.69 — saving £9 monthly. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Option
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it a lower-strength starting point. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg versions. Some patients prefer this gentler approach, though clinical effectiveness is correspondingly reduced. All three products work through the same mechanism — inhibiting lipase enzymes in the digestive system.
10% Off Every Order with EDM10
Code EDM10 delivers ongoing savings on every order, whether you're a new or returning customer. No loyalty schemes or minimum orders — simply apply EDM10 at checkout. This makes long-term treatment more affordable: 12-week generic orlistat supplies cost £86.39 with EDM10 instead of £95.99. For patients requiring ongoing weight management support, these savings accumulate significantly over time.
Prescription Process and Clinical Assessment
All 120mg orlistat products require prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Our online consultation reviews your medical history, current medications and BMI information. Prescriptions are issued where clinically appropriate for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 with weight-related health conditions. Alli 60mg follows the same prescription process but at half-strength dosing.
