Key Differences Between Orlistat Products
The main difference between Alli and Xenical lies in their strength and prescription requirements. Xenical 120mg contains the full prescription dose of orlistat, while Alli contains 60mg - half the prescription strength. Generic orlistat 120mg contains the same active ingredient as Xenical at the same dose, offering identical clinical effects at a lower cost.
All three products work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but the 120mg prescription versions may be more effective for weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat vs Alli: Which to Choose?
Prescription orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg require clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, ensuring the treatment is suitable for your individual circumstances. These prescription options are typically recommended for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions.
At EverydayMeds, generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 for the same period (£38.69 with code EDM10). Both provide the same clinical effect, with generic orlistat offering potential savings of around £9 per month.

How to Access Prescription Weight Loss Treatment
Getting prescription orlistat through EverydayMeds is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire, which is reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber. If treatment is deemed suitable following clinical assessment, your prescription will be dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery.
The online consultation replaces the need for a GP appointment, providing faster access to prescription weight loss treatment. All prescriptions are included in the price, with no additional consultation fees.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. The medication may help reduce the absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat, but success depends on maintaining a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increasing physical activity levels.
Our prescribers can provide guidance on suitable dietary approaches while taking orlistat, helping you minimise potential gastrointestinal side effects by keeping meals appropriately low in fat content.
