Orlistat vs Xenical: Making Your Purchase Decision
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Medicine, Different Price
Both Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The clinical effect is equivalent - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals. Generic Orlistat costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply) or £29.69 with EDM10, while branded Xenical costs £42.99 or £38.69 with discount. This saves you over £100 annually choosing the generic option.
Taking Orlistat Before Food: Common Timing Questions
You should not take orlistat before food alone. Each 120mg capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal containing fat. If a meal contains no fat or is skipped entirely, the orlistat dose can be omitted. Taking orlistat without food provides no benefit and may increase unnecessary side effects.
Which Orlistat Product Should You Buy?
For identical clinical results at the lowest cost, choose generic Orlistat 120mg from £15.20 for 42 capsules with EDM10. If you prefer branded medication, Xenical offers the same orlistat formula from Roche at £19.35 for 42 capsules with discount. Both require the same online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers and are dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains 60mg orlistat - half the prescription strength. While less potent than 120mg options, it may suit those preferring a gentler starting approach. Alli costs £26.09 for 42 capsules (4-week supply) with EDM10. However, prescription-strength Orlistat 120mg offers better value per milligram of active ingredient and stronger clinical effect.
