Alli Weight Loss Aid vs Prescription Orlistat
Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength orlistat option, while prescription-strength orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg provide the full clinical dose. All three products contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Alli 60mg capsules cost £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10), making it an accessible starting point for weight management support.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective prescription weight loss treatment. Starting from just £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with code EDM10), our 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with discount). This clinically equivalent alternative to branded Xenical delivers the same fat-blocking action at significant savings. Perfect for long-term weight management programmes when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Xenical 120mg - Original Branded Treatment
Xenical by Roche remains the original branded orlistat formulation. Available from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10), with 4-week supplies at £42.99 (£38.69 with discount). Contains identical orlistat 120mg dose to generic versions, offering the same mechanism of blocking lipase enzymes in your gut. Some patients prefer the branded option for consistency and familiarity.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Loss
Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of fat from meals being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially reducing calorie intake from fatty foods. Most effective when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat each, supporting sustainable weight management habits.
Online Prescription Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers review your online health questionnaire to assess suitability for orlistat treatment. Suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Complete your consultation today - if approved, we'll dispense your medication from our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy for next day delivery. All prices include prescription fees and delivery.
Managing Treatment Effectively
Start with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet before beginning orlistat treatment. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Skip doses with fat-free meals. Most patients find side effects reduce significantly when keeping meals under 15g fat each. Consider a daily multivitamin taken at bedtime to support fat-soluble vitamin levels. Your prescriber will provide comprehensive guidance for successful treatment.
