Orlistat vs Xenical: The Clinical Facts
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The clinical effectiveness is identical - the only meaningful difference is cost.
Price Comparison: Your Monthly Savings
Generic orlistat 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with discount code EDM10. Branded Xenical costs £42.99 for the same quantity, or £38.69 with EDM10. This represents a £9 monthly saving by choosing generic orlistat over Xenical. For longer treatments, savings increase: 12-week supplies save £30+ when choosing orlistat (£95.99) over Xenical (£128.99).
Which Should You Choose?
If you prioritise value without compromising effectiveness, generic orlistat 120mg delivers identical results at a lower cost. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for personal preference, but clinically both options work the same way. For those wanting a gentler introduction, Alli 60mg offers half-strength orlistat at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10).
