Generic vs Branded: Making the Right Choice
Orlistat vs Xenical: The Clinical Truth
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Clinically, they work identically – blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition. The key difference lies in cost, not clinical effectiveness.
Pregnancy Safety: Why Both Are Contraindicated
Neither orlistat nor Xenical should be used during pregnancy or when planning to conceive. Both products carry the same contraindication for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess suitability during clinical consultation, ensuring appropriate prescribing decisions based on individual circumstances.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
Generic orlistat offers substantial savings versus branded Xenical. A 4-week supply of orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you save £33 choosing orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09 with our discount code.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose generic orlistat if cost-effectiveness is your priority – you receive identical clinical benefits at lower cost. Select Xenical if you prefer the branded Roche product. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment by our qualified UK prescribers.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, offering a gentler introduction to fat-blocking treatment. At £49.49 for 8 weeks with EDM10, it bridges the gap between prescription strength and no treatment.
