Compare Orlistat, Xenical & Alli - Choose Your Treatment
Private Prescription Route: Faster Access Without NHS Delays
Whilst orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management referrals. Our private prescription service provides immediate access to the same prescription-strength treatments through qualified UK-licensed prescribers. Complete an online clinical assessment today and receive your treatment tomorrow - no waiting lists, no delays.
Xenical vs Alli vs Generic Orlistat: The Complete Comparison
All three products contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The key differences are strength and cost. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option at £32.99 per month (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg is the branded equivalent at £42.99 monthly (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides half the prescription dose at £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10).
Why Choose Generic Orlistat 120mg?
Generic orlistat contains exactly the same active ingredient as branded Xenical at the same 120mg dose. Clinical effect is identical - both block approximately one third of dietary fat when taken with meals. The significant difference is price: you'll save around £9 monthly by choosing generic orlistat over Xenical. Our 12-week supply costs just £86.39 with EDM10, providing excellent value for long-term weight management support.
Is Alli 60mg Right for You?
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it suitable for those preferring a gentler starting approach. At 60mg, it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to 120mg formulations, typically resulting in milder gastrointestinal effects. However, the clinical impact on weight management is correspondingly reduced compared to prescription-strength options.
