Orlistat vs Xenical - Making Your Purchase Decision
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg - The Key Facts
Both orlistat 120mg capsules and Xenical 120mg capsules contain exactly the same active ingredient at the same dose. The clinical effect is identical - both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The main difference between these prescription weight loss medications is cost, with generic orlistat offering significant savings over branded Xenical.
Price Comparison - Orlistat vs Xenical
Our current pricing shows substantial savings with generic orlistat. For a 4-week supply (84 capsules), orlistat costs £29.69 with code EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 - a saving of £9 per month. Over a 12-week treatment period, you could save over £25 by choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09). Both options include the prescription and next-day delivery from our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Which Should You Choose?
Clinically, there's no difference between orlistat and Xenical - both are equally effective when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your choice may depend on personal preference and budget. Some patients prefer the branded Xenical for peace of mind, while others choose generic orlistat for the cost savings. Both require the same online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg - The Lower-Strength Alternative
If you're considering a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. While less potent, it may cause milder gastrointestinal side effects. Alli costs £26.09 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, positioned between our orlistat and Xenical pricing.
