Xenical® the same as alli?
Xenical® and alli contain the same active ingredient (Orlistat), but they are not the same. The products have different indications and dosages. Xenical, manufactured by Roche, is prescription Orlistat, a 120 mg capsule indicated for the treatment of obesity in patients who require the supervision of a physician. alli is 60 mg Orlistat, an over-the-counter weight-loss aid for overweight adults who follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet. As an FDA-approved OTC aid, alli puts the consumer in control by offering a proven OTC weight-loss aid with comprehensive support.
