Orlistat vs Xenical: Make Your Choice Today
Same Medicine, Different Price
The key difference between Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg is cost, not clinical effectiveness. Both contain identical amounts of orlistat - the lipase inhibitor that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic Orlistat costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 - saving you £9 monthly. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose generic Orlistat 120mg if you want maximum value without compromising effectiveness. The generic version offers identical clinical benefits at significantly lower cost. A 12-week supply costs £86.39 with EDM10 compared to £116.09 for Xenical - saving £29.70. Choose branded Xenical if you prefer the original Roche formulation. Both require prescription following clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers through our secure online consultation.
Alternative: Alli 60mg
Consider Alli 60mg as a lower-strength option containing half the orlistat dose. While less potent than prescription-strength versions, Alli may suit those preferring gradual introduction. Alli costs £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. However, prescription-strength Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg block more dietary fat and may provide better weight management support when used correctly.
