Compare Xenical, Alli & Generic Orlistat Options
Xenical vs Alli: Strength and Prescription Requirements
The primary difference between Xenical and Alli lies in their orlistat content and prescription status. Xenical contains 120mg of orlistat per capsule and requires a prescription following clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. Alli contains 60mg orlistat - exactly half the prescription strength. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat Options at EverydayMeds
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy offers three orlistat options. Generic orlistat 120mg provides identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), compared to £42.99 for Xenical. Both require online clinical assessment and prescription approval. Xenical 120mg remains popular with patients who prefer the branded option. All 120mg treatments are taken as one capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli offers a lower-strength starting point at 60mg orlistat per capsule. At £28.99 for 42 capsules (4-week supply), Alli provides a gentler introduction to orlistat therapy. The lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal side effects whilst still supporting weight management when combined with appropriate dietary changes. Like prescription-strength options, Alli works best when meals contain no more than approximately 15g fat to minimise side effects.
