Which Orlistat Product Should You Choose?
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Clinical Facts
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical amounts of the same active ingredient - orlistat. This prescription-only medicine works by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of the fat you eat, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Clinically, there is no difference in how these products work in your body.
Cost Comparison: Substantial Savings Available
The primary difference between orlistat and Xenical is price. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules), reduced to £29.69 with our EDM10 discount code. Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for the same 4-week supply, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. Over 12 weeks, you save £30.70 by choosing generic orlistat - that's over £120 annually.
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Generic orlistat offers the same clinical benefit as Xenical at a significantly lower cost. Manufactured to identical quality standards and regulated by the MHRA, generic orlistat provides excellent value without compromising effectiveness. Our 12-week supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), making it the most cost-effective option for sustained weight management support.
When Patients Prefer Xenical
Some patients prefer branded Xenical, often due to familiarity with the Roche brand or previous positive experiences. Xenical remains a premium option delivering the same clinical outcomes as generic orlistat. Our 8-week Xenical supply costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), providing flexibility for those who specifically request the branded version.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains orlistat 60mg - half the dose of prescription-strength products. While clinically less potent, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat, Alli may suit those preferring a gentler starting point. Alli 60mg costs £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10), positioned between the prescription-strength options in terms of both potency and price.
