Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical: Make Your Choice
Identical Clinical Effect, Different Price
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same dose. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the only meaningful difference is cost. Generic orlistat from £15.20 represents significant savings compared to Xenical from £19.35 with EDM10.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
Generic Orlistat 120mg: 2 weeks £15.20, 4 weeks £29.69, 8 weeks £57.59, 12 weeks £86.39 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg: 2 weeks £19.35, 4 weeks £38.69, 8 weeks £78.29, 12 weeks £116.09 with EDM10. Choosing generic orlistat saves approximately £9 per month on a 4-week supply. Over 12 weeks, you save nearly £30 choosing generic orlistat over branded Xenical.
Which Should You Choose?
Most patients choose generic orlistat 120mg for the cost savings without compromising clinical effectiveness. Some prefer branded Xenical from personal preference. Both require the same online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber and deliver identical weight management support when used alongside dietary and lifestyle changes. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10.
