Why Choose Alli for Prescription Weight Loss?
How Alli Weight Loss Medication Works
Alli contains orlistat 60mg, a lipase inhibitor that works locally in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unlike stimulant-based treatments, Alli acts in the gut rather than affecting your brain or nervous system. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Alli vs Prescription Strength Orlistat
Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option compared to prescription orlistat 120mg. We also stock generic orlistat 120mg from £15.20 (4 weeks with EDM10) and branded Xenical 120mg from £38.69 (4 weeks with EDM10). Your prescriber will determine which strength is most appropriate based on your individual health assessment and weight management goals.

Who May Be Suitable for Alli
Alli may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above, particularly those with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Individual suitability is determined through clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers. Treatment works best alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity as part of a comprehensive weight management approach.
Managing Side Effects
Like all medicines, Alli may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects related to unabsorbed fat. These can be minimised by keeping dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal). Common effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Most patients find these reduce over time as they adapt to a lower-fat diet pattern.
