Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper, Alli or Xenical?

Pharmacies pay about the same to acquire either one — roughly $207.04 for a 30-count supply, per the CMS NADAC survey. That is not what you will be charged: your price is set by your insurer and the pharmacy, not by what the drug cost them.

What is the difference between Alli and Xenical?

Both Alli and Xenical share the active ingredient Orlistat, but Alli is sold as OTC and Xenical as RX.
