Compare Prices: Alli vs Xenical vs Generic Orlistat
Key Differences Between Alli, Xenical and Generic Orlistat
The main difference between Alli and Xenical lies in their strength and prescription requirements. Alli contains 60mg orlistat and is a lower-strength option, while Xenical contains 120mg orlistat and requires a prescription following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg contains the same active ingredient as Xenical at the same dose - the key difference is cost. All three medications work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

Which Strength Is Right for You?
Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength starting point with typically milder gastrointestinal side effects, while prescription-strength orlistat 120mg (available as generic or branded Xenical) blocks a larger proportion of dietary fat. A UK-licensed prescriber will assess whether 120mg strength is clinically appropriate based on your individual circumstances, including BMI and weight-related health factors. The 10% discount with EDM10 applies to whichever option your prescriber recommends.
How All Three Products Work
Alli, Xenical and generic orlistat all contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which works locally in your digestive system. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat, preventing approximately one third of fat from being absorbed. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body. The key difference is dosage: Alli provides 60mg per capsule while prescription versions provide 120mg. All versions work best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat to minimise side effects.
Reorder Savings That Continue
