Which Orlistat Strength Should You Choose?
Key Differences: 60mg vs 120mg Orlistat Explained
The fundamental difference between 60mg and 120mg orlistat lies in potency and prescription requirements. Our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy stocks both strengths to meet different patient needs. Orlistat 120mg (available as generic or branded Xenical) requires a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. This prescription-strength version blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and costs from £29.69 per month with code EDM10. Alli 60mg contains half the active ingredient and is available without prescription at £26.09 per month with our discount code.
Prescription-Strength 120mg: Maximum Clinical Support
As an MHRA-regulated pharmacy, we provide orlistat 120mg following individual clinical assessment. This prescription-only strength may be suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions. Our 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with EDM10. For longer treatment, our 12-week supply offers excellent value at £95.99 (£86.39 with discount). Each 120mg capsule is taken with main meals containing fat, working locally in the gut to reduce dietary fat absorption by approximately one third.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg provides a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment. This lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Our Leicester pharmacy supplies Alli at competitive prices: 4-week supplies from £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10) and 12-week supplies at £129.99 (£116.99 with discount). The dosing remains three capsules daily with main meals, but the reduced strength may be preferred by those starting their weight management journey.
