Orlistat vs Xenical: Clinical Effectiveness Comparison

Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work through the same mechanism - inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. Clinically, generic orlistat and branded Xenical are equivalent and may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.

Cost Comparison: Significant Savings with Generic Orlistat

The primary difference between orlistat and Xenical is cost. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10 discount), whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over a 12-week course, you could save approximately £30 by choosing generic orlistat at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Both options require prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber.

Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative

Alli contains half the dose at 60mg orlistat per capsule. This lower strength may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point, though it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to prescription-strength options. Alli costs £54.99 for an 8-week supply (£49.49 with EDM10). Your prescriber can advise whether 60mg or 120mg strength is more appropriate for your weight management goals.
