Compare Orlistat vs Alli: Strength, Price & Savings
Which Is Better: Alli or Orlistat?
The answer depends on your individual needs and clinical assessment. Orlistat 120mg capsules are prescription-only and contain double the active ingredient compared to Alli 60mg. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but Orlistat 120mg provides stronger support for weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Orlistat 120mg: Prescription Strength
Orlistat 120mg capsules require a prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. Available as generic Orlistat or branded Xenical, both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Key benefits include:
• Stronger fat-blocking action compared to Alli 60mg
• Clinically proven support for adults with BMI 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions
• Cost-effective option: 84 capsules (4 weeks) from £29.69 with EDM10
• Same clinical effect whether you choose generic or branded version
Order your 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £86.39 with EDM10 - saving £9.60 on every order compared to standard pricing.
Alli 60mg: Lower Strength Option
Alli 60mg capsules contain half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. While still effective at blocking dietary fat absorption, the lower strength typically means milder side effects but reduced potency. Alli pricing with 10% off:
• 84 capsules (8 weeks): £49.49 with EDM10 (save £5.50)
• 252 capsules (12 weeks): £116.99 with EDM10 (save £13.00)
• Lower dose may be preferred by some patients starting weight management
