# alli (orlistat 60mg) — UK price comparison

What alli (orlistat 60mg) costs from UK pharmacies, how it compares with prescription orlistat 120mg, and who it may be suitable for.

Prices checked: 10 July 2026· Indicative treatment-service prices, not quotes

In short

alli typically costs £20–£50 per month from UK pharmacies. It is a lower-strength (60mg) orlistat pharmacy medicine a pharmacist can supply after a consultation, without a GP prescription. Prescription orlistat 120mg is stronger and often available more cheaply on the NHS if you qualify — compare both routes.

Who this is not for

Skip a private price table if you can access an NHS weight-management pathway now, you want a pen with no consultation, or the only offer you found is a social-media seller. Those are the wrong jobs for a regulated pharmacy service.

Pick My Pharmacy is an independent comparison service and not a pharmacy. Where a listing is a referral partner we may earn a commission when you visit them — this never changes prices you pay, ratings, or the order providers appear. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored" and are labelled “Ad – Affiliate”. For Prescription Only Medicines we promote the pharmacy’s clinical service, not a specific medicine, in line with the MHRA Blue Guide. See our [affiliate compliance](/methodology/#affiliate-compliance).

### Do you run this service?

These pharmacies appear because they offer a regulated treatment service. A blank price means we have not verified a published figure — we will not guess. Claim your listing and paste a URL plus the published monthly or pack price from your own site. Payment never fills a cell and never changes a score.

## What the price covers

alli is sold as a pharmacy pack after a pharmacist suitability check. Online prices usually include the check, medicine, and delivery. Compare pack sizes for monthly cost.

## alli vs prescription orlistat

Prescription orlistat 120mg is a higher dose and needs a prescriber. On the NHS it costs at most the standard prescription charge in England. Private prescription orlistat services are compared on our orlistat page. alli is the OTC-style pharmacy route for adults who meet BMI criteria for the 60mg product.

## Safety

Side effects relate to unabsorbed fat (oily stools, urgency). Speak to a pharmacist before starting. This page is not medical advice.

## Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for alli?▼
No — it is a pharmacy medicine, but a pharmacist must confirm suitability (including BMI criteria).
Is alli the same as Xenical?▼
Same active ingredient (orlistat) but alli is 60mg; Xenical/prescription orlistat is usually 120mg.
Why does a pharmacy on this alli (orlistat 60mg) table have no price?▼
We only publish a provider price when we have verified it against that pharmacy’s own published treatment-service page, with a checked date. A blank cell means the figure is not on file — not that the service is free, and not that we ranked the pharmacy last. Confirm the live price on the pharmacy’s site. Pharmacies can submit a published figure when they claim a listing; payment never fills a cell.
Can a pharmacy pay to rank higher for alli (orlistat 60mg)?▼
No. Payment buys labelled visibility and qualified enquiries, never a better score or a higher row on this table. Referral links are labelled “Ad – Affiliate” and use rel="sponsored". See our methodology.

## Not sure private treatment is the right route?

NHS weight-management support is free where you qualify, but access is phased. Check your BMI, ask your GP about local eligibility, then compare regulated private services if NHS routes are closed to you.
