How to Get Your Prescription Online in 3 Simple Steps
Understanding the Key Differences
The main differences between Alli and Xenical centre on strength and prescription requirements. Xenical contains 120mg orlistat and requires a prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. Generic orlistat 120mg contains the same active ingredient as Xenical at identical strength, offering the same clinical effect at a lower cost. Alli contains 60mg orlistat - half the prescription strength - making it a lower-dose option.
All three medicines work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut. They must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity for effective weight management.
Online Prescription Process at EverydayMeds
Getting your prescription online is straightforward: complete our medical questionnaire with your health history, current medications, and BMI information. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your details and determines treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester, then dispatched for next-day delivery.
This regulated process ensures you receive the same clinical oversight as a traditional GP appointment, but with the convenience of online access and faster delivery to your door.
Pricing and Savings Comparison
Generic orlistat 120mg offers significant savings compared to branded Xenical. A 4-week supply (84 capsules) of generic orlistat costs £32.99, while Xenical costs £42.99 for the same quantity. With code EDM10, you save 10% on every order: orlistat drops to £29.69 and Xenical to £38.69.
Alli 60mg provides a 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £28.99, or £26.09 with EDM10. While lower in strength, Alli may suit those preferring to start with a reduced dose before considering prescription-strength options.
Which Option Should You Choose?
Your choice depends on clinical suitability and personal preference. Prescription-strength options (Xenical 120mg or generic orlistat 120mg) are clinically equivalent - the difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers the same effect as Xenical at approximately £9 less per month.
Alli 60mg may be suitable if you prefer starting with lower-strength treatment, though it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to prescription doses. Your prescriber will assess which option best suits your individual circumstances during the online consultation.
