Compare Orlistat, Xenical & Alli - Which Is Right for You?
Understanding the Difference: Alli vs Orlistat
While Alli and orlistat contain the same active ingredient, they differ significantly in strength and regulation. Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only medicine that may help block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli contains 60mg orlistat - half the prescription strength. Both work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing fat absorption, but the 120mg prescription version offers greater clinical potential for weight management support.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg Options
Generic orlistat 120mg provides the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at substantially lower cost. Our 4-week supply costs £29.69 with code EDM10, compared to Xenical at £38.69. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Available pack sizes include 42 capsules (2 weeks, £15.20), 84 capsules (4 weeks, £29.69), 168 capsules (8 weeks, £57.59), and 252 capsules (12 weeks, £86.39) - all with EDM10 discount.
How Prescription Weight Loss Treatment Works
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system, blocking lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. Approximately one third of fat consumed cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through the body. This medication must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Effects vary between individuals and clinical assessment determines suitability.
