Which Orlistat Option Should You Choose?
Generic Orlistat 120mg vs Branded Xenical 120mg
Both Orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Clinically, they work in precisely the same way - 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, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
The primary difference lies in cost. Generic Orlistat 120mg represents exceptional value: a 4-week supply costs just £29.69 with code EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical - saving you £9 per month. For a 12-week course, you'll save £29.70 by choosing generic Orlistat (£86.39) over Xenical (£116.09).
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli may produce milder gastrointestinal effects whilst still supporting weight management. However, the lower dose means it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg formulations.
Which Should You Buy?
For maximum clinical effect and best value, generic Orlistat 120mg offers the optimal combination of efficacy and affordability. Choose branded Xenical 120mg if you specifically prefer the original Roche formulation. Select Alli 60mg if you want to start with a lower dose. All three options require adherence to a low-fat diet to minimise side effects and maximise results.
