Orlistat vs Xenical: Your Complete Buying Guide
What's the Difference Between Orlistat and Xenical?
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain exactly the same active ingredient at identical doses. Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche, whilst Orlistat refers to the generic equivalent. Clinically, both work identically - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption to support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Price Comparison: Orlistat vs Xenical
The key difference lies in cost. Generic Orlistat 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 84 capsules costs £42.99, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10 - representing a £9 monthly saving with the generic option. Over 12 weeks, you save £30 choosing Orlistat (£86.39) versus Xenical (£116.09) with our discount code.
Which Should You Choose?
Both deliver identical clinical outcomes. Choose generic Orlistat if you prioritise value whilst maintaining the same therapeutic effect. Some patients prefer branded Xenical for brand recognition, though the active ingredient and dosage remain identical. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your treatment plan following online clinical assessment.
Consider Alli 60mg as an Alternative
Alli contains half the orlistat dose at 60mg per capsule. Whilst clinically less potent than prescription-strength options, Alli may suit those preferring a lower-strength starting point. Our 84-capsule pack (8-week supply) costs £49.49 with EDM10.
