Which Option Is Right for Your Weight Management?
Understanding the Key Differences
When comparing Alli vs Orlistat from our UK registered pharmacy, the main difference lies in strength and prescription requirements. Orlistat 120mg is prescription-only medication that requires clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, whilst Alli contains 60mg of the same active ingredient at half the dose. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Clinical Strength
Our generic Orlistat 120mg offers the full clinical dose at excellent value from £29.69 per month with EDM10. Following online clinical assessment by our qualified UK prescribers, this prescription-only option may be suitable for adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² with weight-related health factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. Each 84-capsule pack provides 4 weeks of treatment at three capsules daily with main meals. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, we ensure all prescriptions meet strict MHRA safety standards before dispensing.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides 60mg orlistat per capsule, offering a gentler introduction to fat-blocking therapy. At £49.49 for 8 weeks with EDM10, this lower-strength option may appeal to those preferring gradual weight management support. Whilst containing half the active ingredient of prescription strength, Alli still works through the same mechanism - blocking lipase enzymes to prevent dietary fat absorption in the digestive system.
Pricing Comparison from Our UK Pharmacy
Our transparent pricing reflects excellent value from a fully regulated source. Orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for 4 weeks, whilst the equivalent Alli period of 4 weeks costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). However, the clinical strength difference means prescription Orlistat provides double the active ingredient per capsule. Our 12-week Orlistat supply at £86.39 with EDM10 offers significant savings for longer-term weight management programmes.
