Which Orlistat Product Should You Choose?
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Facts
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the identical active ingredient at the same dose. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The clinical effect is equivalent – both may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
Generic orlistat offers substantial cost savings over branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply (84 capsules), generic orlistat costs £29.69 with code EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69 – saving you £9 monthly. Over 12 weeks, you save £29.70 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). Both require the same prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the orlistat dose of prescription-strength products. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, it offers a lower-strength starting point. Whilst clinically less potent than 120mg products, Alli may suit those preferring a gradual approach to weight management support.
Which Product is Right for You?
Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Generic orlistat provides identical clinical benefits to Xenical at lower cost – ideal for value-conscious patients. Xenical appeals to those preferring branded medication. Alli 60mg suits those wanting lower-strength treatment. All three products require commitment to dietary changes and may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly with high-fat meals.
