Generic vs Branded: Making Your Decision
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: The Facts
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain 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 primary difference lies in cost and manufacturer preference.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings Available
Generic Orlistat offers substantial savings over branded Xenical. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £29.69 for Orlistat versus £38.69 for Xenical with code EDM10 - saving you £9 monthly. Over 12 weeks, you save £29.70 choosing generic Orlistat (£86.39) over Xenical (£116.09). Both options include prescription and delivery from our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Which Should You Choose?
If cost is your priority, generic Orlistat 120mg provides identical clinical benefits at lower prices. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for consistency, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. Both require the same online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers and work identically in supporting weight management.
Consider Alli 60mg as Alternative
Alli 60mg offers half the prescription strength as a lower-dose starting option. Whilst clinically less potent than 120mg versions, it may suit those preferring gentler introduction to orlistat treatment. Available from £26.09 for 4-week supply with EDM10.
