Choose Your Orlistat Option - Prescription Included
Understanding the Differences: Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli
All three options contain orlistat as the active ingredient, but differ in strength and prescription requirements. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical doses and require prescription following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg is half the prescription strength. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your online consultation to determine the most appropriate option for your individual circumstances.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Most Cost-Effective Option
Generic orlistat 120mg provides the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at a lower cost. Priced from £29.69 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10), this option blocks approximately one third of dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Following your online consultation, our prescribers will assess whether orlistat 120mg is suitable based on your BMI and health information.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Xenical contains the same 120mg orlistat dose as the generic version but is manufactured by Roche. Priced from £38.69 for 4 weeks (£34.82 with EDM10), some patients prefer the branded option. Both generic orlistat and Xenical work identically - blocking the same proportion of dietary fat absorption. Your prescriber will discuss which option suits your preferences following clinical assessment.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Priced from £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg formulations. This lower strength typically produces milder gastrointestinal side effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside dietary changes.
