Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: What's the Difference?
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The only meaningful difference is price - generic orlistat offers significant savings compared to the branded Xenical version. Clinically, both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Generic vs Branded
Generic orlistat 120mg costs £15.20 for 2 weeks with code EDM10, whilst Xenical 120mg costs £19.35 for the same period. Over a 12-week course, you'll save £29.70 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). Both require the same online clinical assessment and prescription from our UK-licensed healthcare professionals.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat and blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, it provides an option for those preferring lower-strength treatment. However, clinical effectiveness is correspondingly reduced compared to the 120mg prescription versions.
Which Should You Choose?
Most patients choose generic orlistat for the cost savings, as it delivers identical clinical benefits to Xenical. Some prefer the branded Xenical option. Both are prescribed following the same clinical assessment process and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy. Your prescriber will help determine which strength and option suits your individual circumstances.
