Orlistat vs Xenical: The Key Differences
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. The clinical effect is the same – both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals. The primary difference is cost, with generic orlistat offering substantial savings without compromising effectiveness.
Price Comparison: Significant Savings with Generic
Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 – saving you £9 monthly. Over 12 weeks, generic orlistat costs £86.39 compared to Xenical's £116.09, representing a £29.70 saving. Both options work identically, so choosing generic orlistat maximises value while delivering the same weight management support alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat and may be suitable for those preferring a lower-strength starting point. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli provides another option in the orlistat family, though with reduced potency compared to the 120mg prescription versions.
Same Clinical Assessment Process
Whether you choose generic orlistat or branded Xenical, both require the same online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. The consultation process reviews your medical history, current medications, and BMI to determine suitability. Once approved, your chosen treatment is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next day delivery available.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose generic orlistat 120mg if cost-effectiveness is your priority – you'll receive identical clinical benefits at significantly lower prices. Choose branded Xenical if you prefer the assurance of the original branded product. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes to reduce dietary fat absorption and should be used alongside a structured diet and exercise programme. Remember, both are prescription-only medicines requiring prescriber approval following individual clinical assessment.
