Which Orlistat Product Should You Choose?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Difference is Price
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same strength. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is equivalent - the main difference is cost. Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to Xenical at £38.69 (with EDM10 discount), saving you £108 annually.
Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat delivers the same weight management support as Xenical at significantly lower cost. Available from £15.20 for 2 weeks with EDM10 discount. Perfect choice for cost-conscious patients seeking effective prescription weight loss support. Supplied by GPhC-registered pharmacy following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche. Some patients prefer branded medication for peace of mind. Available from £19.35 for 2 weeks with EDM10. Contains identical orlistat 120mg as generic version with same side effect profile and clinical outcomes. Both require prescription following online health assessment.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli contains half the orlistat dose of prescription strength products. May suit those preferring gentler introduction to orlistat therapy. Available from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Blocks smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg versions. All three products work best when combined with reduced-fat diet and regular exercise.
