Compare Orlistat vs Xenical Prescription Costs
Orlistat vs Xenical: What's the Difference?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effect is identical - the only real difference is cost and branding. Xenical is manufactured by Roche as the original branded version, whilst generic orlistat offers the same treatment at a lower price point.
Prescription Cost Comparison
Generic orlistat delivers significant savings compared to branded Xenical. For a 4-week supply, orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Over 12 weeks, you'll save nearly £30 by choosing generic orlistat at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Both require the same online clinical assessment and prescription process.
Which Should You Choose?
Your choice depends on personal preference and budget. Generic orlistat provides identical clinical benefits at the lowest cost, making it the most popular choice. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for the reassurance of the original formulation. Both are dispensed from our GPhC-registered pharmacy following prescriber approval. For those seeking a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg (half the dose) is available from £28.99 for 4 weeks.
