Compare Prices and Strengths: Orlistat vs Alli vs Xenical
Key Differences Between Alli and Orlistat
The main difference lies in strength and prescription requirements. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - both requiring prescription following clinical assessment. Alli contains 60mg orlistat, exactly half the prescription strength. All three work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Generic Orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective prescription treatment. At £32.99 for 4-week supply (just £29.69 with EDM10), you save significantly compared to branded alternatives. Following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, Orlistat delivers the same clinical effect as Xenical at a lower cost. Available in 2-week (£16.89/£15.20), 4-week, 8-week (£63.99/£57.59), and 12-week (£95.99/£86.39) supplies with EDM10 discount.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Prescription Option
Xenical, manufactured by Roche, contains identical 120mg orlistat but carries branded pricing. At £42.99 for 4-week supply (£38.69 with code EDM10), some patients prefer the branded option whilst others choose generic orlistat for value. Both require the same clinical assessment and deliver equivalent results when used alongside appropriate dietary changes.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli provides half the orlistat dose at 60mg per capsule. This lower strength may suit those preferring a gentler starting point, though it blocks a smaller proportion of dietary fat compared to prescription strength. At £28.99 for 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10 discount), Alli bridges the gap between prescription and non-prescription approaches.
