Orlistat vs Xenical: Making Your Purchase Decision
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: Identical Effects, Different Prices
When deciding between orlistat and Xenical, the most important factor is cost. Both medications contain exactly the same active ingredient - orlistat 120mg - and work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period. Over 12 weeks, you'll save £29.70 choosing generic orlistat (£86.39) over Xenical (£116.09).
Which Should You Choose?
Most patients choose generic orlistat for the significant cost savings. Clinically, there's no difference between the two options. Both require the same prescription process following assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, whilst others prioritise value with generic orlistat. Both are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with identical next-day delivery service.
Alli 60mg: The Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the dose of prescription orlistat at 60mg per capsule. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli offers a lower-strength starting point. Whilst less potent than prescription-strength options, Alli may suit those preferring a gentler approach. All three options work by blocking dietary fat absorption and require a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for optimal results.
