Compare Orlistat vs Xenical Prices - Make Your Choice
Same Mechanism, Different Price: Orlistat vs Xenical
When choosing between orlistat and Xenical, you're comparing two versions of the same prescription weight loss medication. Both contain 120mg orlistat as the active ingredient and work by the identical mechanism - inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Generic vs Branded Orlistat
The main difference between orlistat and Xenical is cost. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 for a 2-week supply (£15.20 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). For a 12-week course, you'll save £33 choosing generic orlistat at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09 with our 10% discount code. Both deliver identical clinical effects - the choice comes down to whether you prefer branded medication or value savings.
Clinical Equivalence - Same Active Ingredient
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent medications. Generic orlistat uses the same active ingredient at the same dose as branded Xenical, manufactured to identical UK pharmaceutical standards. Both work by the same mechanism of action in your gut, blocking dietary fat absorption by approximately one third. Whether you choose generic or branded, you'll take one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, following the same dosing schedule.
Consider Alli 60mg as a Lower-Strength Alternative
Alongside prescription-strength options, we stock Alli 60mg capsules - containing half the dose of orlistat. While less potent than 120mg versions, Alli may suit those preferring a gentler starting approach. Alli 60mg costs £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10. However, most patients seeking effective weight management support choose prescription-strength orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg following clinical assessment.
