Orlistat vs Xenical: Which Should You Choose?
Clinical Effectiveness: Orlistat vs Xenical
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, preventing these calories from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system. Clinically, there is no difference in effectiveness between generic orlistat and branded Xenical - both may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Price Comparison: Generic vs Branded
The main difference between orlistat and Xenical is cost. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. Over 12 weeks, you'll save approximately £30 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). Both require the same online clinical assessment and are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with next day delivery across the UK.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, it offers a lower-strength starting point that may suit some patients. However, clinical studies show 120mg doses are more effective for weight management. Your prescriber will help determine which strength may be most suitable following your online consultation.
Which Product Should You Buy?
Choose generic orlistat 120mg if you want maximum value - identical effectiveness at the lowest cost. Select Xenical 120mg if you prefer the branded version made by Roche. Consider Alli 60mg if you prefer starting with a lower dose. All three products require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
