Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The primary difference is cost - generic Orlistat offers substantial savings compared to branded Xenical. Clinical effects are equivalent, both blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic Orlistat 120mg: 4-week supply £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg: 4-week supply £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This represents savings of approximately £9 per month choosing generic Orlistat. For 12-week supplies, Orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10) - saving nearly £30 over three months.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. This lower strength may cause milder gastrointestinal side effects but blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat. 4-week supply costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). Some patients prefer starting with Alli before progressing to 120mg strength following prescriber guidance.
Which Should You Choose?
For maximum value without compromising clinical effect, generic Orlistat 120mg offers the best option. Those preferring branded medication may choose Xenical 120mg. Alli 60mg suits patients wanting a gentler introduction to orlistat therapy. All options require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers and work best when combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity.
