Compare Alli vs Prescription Orlistat - Which Works Best?
How Alli and Prescription Orlistat Work
Alli (60mg) and prescription orlistat (120mg) both contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your gut. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Prescription orlistat 120mg provides double the strength of Alli, potentially offering greater weight management support when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Double Strength Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective prescription weight loss treatment. At EverydayMeds, 4 weeks costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). This provides the same clinical effect as branded Xenical but at significantly lower cost. Following online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Effect, Different Price
Xenical 120mg contains identical active ingredient and dose to generic orlistat. The key difference is price - Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10) compared to £29.69 for generic orlistat with our discount code. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and offer the same weight management support when used correctly.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides half the dose of prescription orlistat. At £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10), it offers a lower-strength starting point. However, prescription orlistat 120mg provides better value - stronger dose for similar monthly cost. Many patients find prescription strength more effective for their weight management goals.

Getting the Best Results
All orlistat products work best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with no more than 15g fat per meal. Higher fat meals increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended. Regular physical activity enhances weight management results when combined with orlistat treatment.
