Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Key Difference
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The primary difference is cost - generic Orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same clinical effect. A 4-week supply of Orlistat costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for Xenical - saving you over £100 annually. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Both require prescription following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it suitable for those preferring a gradual approach. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat with typically milder gastrointestinal effects. However, the lower dose means reduced clinical potency compared to 120mg formulations.
How All Three Products Work
Whether you choose Orlistat, Xenical, or Alli, the mechanism remains the same - inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system to prevent approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. All work best when meals contain no more than 15g fat each, significantly reducing the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising weight management support.
Making Your Decision
For identical clinical effect at the lowest cost, choose generic Orlistat 120mg. If you prefer branded medication, Xenical 120mg provides the same active ingredient from the original manufacturer. For a lower-strength starting point, Alli 60mg offers a gentler introduction to orlistat therapy. All options require commitment to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity for optimal results.
