Choose Your Orlistat Strength for Weight Management
Orlistat 60mg vs 120mg: Which Dosage is Right for You?
Orlistat is available in two main strengths for weight management support. The 60mg dosage (Alli) provides a lower-strength option, whilst 120mg (available as generic orlistat or branded Xenical) offers prescription-strength treatment. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Alli 60mg Dosage and Pricing
Alli 60mg capsules are taken three times daily with main meals containing fat. Our competitive pricing includes 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £28.99, reducing to £26.09 with EDM10. For longer treatment, choose our 8-week supply at £54.99 (£49.49 with discount) or 12-week supply at £129.99 (£116.99 with code). All orders include clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Prescription-Strength Orlistat 120mg Options
For those requiring stronger support, orlistat 120mg provides full prescription strength. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with discount). Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect - the choice often comes down to personal preference and budget.
How Orlistat Supports Your Weight Loss Journey
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of fat from being absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary fat. The medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Individual results may vary, and long-term success depends on continued lifestyle changes.
Clinical Assessment and Safe Prescribing
All orlistat orders require review by our UK-licensed prescribers through our online clinical assessment. This ensures treatment suitability based on your individual health circumstances, BMI, and medical history. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester dispenses all medications through regulated UK supply chains, maintaining the same safety standards as your local chemist.
Managing Side Effects with Proper Dosing
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These effects are actually signs the medication is working - blocking fat absorption. Side effects can be minimised by keeping fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) and taking doses as directed. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as their diet adapts.
