Choose Your Orlistat Strength for Weight Management
Understanding Orlistat Strengths Available in the UK
Orlistat is available in two main strengths in the UK: 120mg (prescription-only) and 60mg. The 120mg prescription strength blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, making it the most clinically effective option for weight management. At EverydayMeds, we offer both generic Orlistat 120mg capsules from £15.20 (2-week supply with EDM10) and branded Xenical 120mg. Our lower-strength Alli 60mg provides a gentler introduction for those preferring to start with half the prescription dose.
Orlistat 120mg: Maximum Prescription Strength
Our most popular choice, Orlistat 120mg capsules, represents the full prescription strength clinically studied for weight management support. Available in convenient pack sizes: 2 weeks (42 capsules) for £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) for £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) for £57.59, and 12 weeks (252 capsules) for £86.39 - all prices include our EDM10 discount. This strength may help support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity, following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Xenical 120mg: Branded Orlistat Option
Xenical contains the same active ingredient and strength as generic orlistat but is manufactured by Roche. Some patients prefer the branded option, available from £19.35 for a 2-week supply with EDM10. Whether you choose generic orlistat or branded Xenical, both contain identical 120mg doses and work in exactly the same way. The choice often comes down to personal preference and budget, with generic orlistat offering excellent value for money.
Alli 60mg: Lower Strength Starting Option
Alli 60mg capsules provide half the strength of prescription orlistat, offering a gentler approach to weight management support. This lower strength may be suitable for those wanting to start gradually or who prefer reduced intensity of gastrointestinal effects. Available from £26.09 for a 4-week supply (42 capsules) with EDM10. Like all orlistat products, Alli works best alongside a lower-fat, reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity.
How to Choose the Right Orlistat Strength
The choice between orlistat strengths depends on your individual circumstances and clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers will review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals during the online consultation. Prescription-strength 120mg orlistat (generic or Xenical) is typically recommended for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions. Start your clinical assessment today to discover which strength may be most suitable for your weight management journey.
