Compare Alli vs Orlistat: Strength, Price & Prescription
Orlistat 120mg vs Alli 60mg: Key Differences
The main difference between Orlistat 120mg and Alli 60mg is strength. Orlistat 120mg is prescription-only and blocks approximately one third of dietary fat when taken with meals. Alli contains half the dose at 60mg, making it a lower-strength option. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing fat absorption, but prescription-strength Orlistat 120mg may be more clinically effective for weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Pricing Comparison: Generic vs Branded Options
Generic Orlistat 120mg offers the best value, starting from £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient but costs £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Alli 60mg (42 capsules, 4-week supply) costs £26.09 with EDM10. For 12-week supplies, generic Orlistat costs £86.39, Xenical £116.09, and Alli £116.99 (all with EDM10 discount). Generic Orlistat provides significant savings whilst delivering identical clinical effects to branded alternatives.
Which Option May Suit You?
Prescription Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength starting point. Your EverydayMeds prescriber will assess your individual circumstances during the online consultation. Treatment suitability depends on your health profile, current medications, and weight management goals. All options work best alongside a structured diet and exercise programme.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Every order requires clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. We review your medical history, current medications, and assess contraindications before prescribing. Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly with high-fat meals. These effects are more common initially and can be minimised by keeping dietary fat low (approximately 15g per meal). Our prescribers ensure you receive appropriate guidance for safe, effective use.
