Xenical/Orlistat/ Alli /XLS - Confused :/

[Debs1972]

Contemplating going on a fat blocker but seeing so many names mentioned : Xenical/Orlistat, Alli, XLS - so slightly confused

Are these all the same thing but different names? Which ones are only available on prescription or bought over the counter? (will not by online - way to many horror stories about what you actually are getting-recently in the news)

I have tried Xenical prescribed by my GP ages ago but never really stuck to it.

Xenocil is actually not in the market anymore, funny tho, as my gp prescribed it and when I went to pharmacy they told me it was discontinued

Hi. I work in a drs and prescribe oralist at. It's not of market but it did go out of stock nationally for a few months last year. Try another chemist.. Good luck x

Does anybody know if any of these come without gelatine capsule? I don't think there is a vegetarian equivalent yet but am not completely sure.
