Which Should You Buy: Orlistat or Xenical?
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
When deciding whether to buy Xenical online cheap or choose generic orlistat, understanding the differences helps you make the right choice. Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The key difference lies in cost and branding, not clinical effectiveness.
Generic orlistat 120mg costs from £29.69 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 - a saving of £9 monthly by choosing the generic version. Both work identically, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Generic Orlistat 120mg: Best Value Option
Our generic orlistat offers exceptional value without compromising quality. Manufactured to the same strict standards as branded alternatives, orlistat provides clinically equivalent results at significantly lower cost. Available in convenient pack sizes: 42 capsules (2 weeks, £15.20), 84 capsules (4 weeks, £29.69), 168 capsules (8 weeks, £57.59), and 252 capsules (12 weeks, £86.39) - all with EDM10 discount.
Take one capsule three times daily with meals containing fat. Works locally in the digestive system to reduce dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management when combined with lifestyle changes.
Xenical 120mg: The Branded Alternative
Xenical, manufactured by Roche, remains a popular choice for patients preferring branded medication. Containing the same orlistat 120mg dose as generic alternatives, Xenical delivers identical clinical benefits. Pricing starts at £19.35 for 42 capsules, £38.69 for 84 capsules, £78.29 for 168 capsules, and £116.09 for 252 capsules with EDM10.
Some patients choose Xenical for brand familiarity, whilst others prefer generic orlistat for cost savings. Both require prescription following clinical assessment by our qualified UK prescribers.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
For those preferring a gentler starting point, Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat, typically resulting in milder side effects. Available in 42, 84, and 252 capsule packs.
