Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Facts

Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the difference lies in cost and manufacturer preference.

Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical

Generic orlistat offers significant savings over branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply, orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you save approximately £27 by choosing generic orlistat. Both options are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy following prescriber approval.

Which Should You Choose?

If you prefer value for money, generic orlistat 120mg delivers the same clinical effect at a lower price. Some patients prefer branded Xenical from Roche, whilst others choose orlistat for cost-effectiveness. Both require the same online clinical assessment and work identically when taken three times daily with meals containing fat.

Alternative Option: Alli 60mg

For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription orlistat. It blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat with typically milder side effects. Available from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli offers another weight management option.
