Understanding the Differences - Choose Your Orlistat
Is Alli and Orlistat the Same Active Ingredient?
Yes, Alli and orlistat contain the same active ingredient - orlistat. However, they differ significantly in strength and availability. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines containing the full clinical dose, whilst Alli contains 60mg orlistat at half the prescription strength. All three work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, but the 120mg prescription versions may provide more comprehensive support for weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Compare All Three Options Available at EverydayMeds
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks all three orlistat products. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option from £15.20 with EDM10, providing identical clinical effects to branded Xenical. Xenical 120mg from £19.35 with EDM10 is the original branded version by Roche. Alli 60mg from £26.09 with EDM10 provides a lower-strength starting point. Following your online clinical assessment, our UK-licensed prescribers will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual circumstances and weight management goals.
