Understanding Your First Week with Alli and Prescription Orlistat
When starting weight loss treatment with Alli 60mg or prescription-strength orlistat 120mg, understanding what to expect in your first week can help you achieve better results. These clinically-studied treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Most Cost-Effective Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the strongest available dose at the best value. Starting from £15.20 for a 2-week supply (£16.89 before EDM10 discount), this prescription-only treatment provides the same clinical effect as branded alternatives. Our 4-week supply costs just £29.69 with code EDM10, offering excellent value for ongoing weight management support.
Xenical 120mg - Premium Branded Treatment
Xenical contains identical orlistat 120mg but in Roche's original branded formulation. While clinically equivalent to generic orlistat, some patients prefer the branded option. Xenical starts from £19.35 for 2 weeks (£21.50 before discount), with 4-week supplies available for £38.69 using code EDM10.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Starting Point
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it a gentler starting option. At £26.09 for a 4-week supply (£28.99 before EDM10), Alli may be suitable for those preferring to begin with lower-strength treatment while establishing their reduced-fat diet routine.
What to Expect During Your First Week
During your first week with any orlistat-based treatment, your body adjusts to the medication's fat-blocking action. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising treatment effectiveness. Most patients find that maintaining a consistent, lower-fat diet becomes easier after the first week.
Getting Started with EverydayMeds
Our streamlined process begins with an online clinical assessment reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers. If treatment is deemed appropriate, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery.

Maximising Your Treatment Success
All orlistat treatments work best when combined with a structured approach to diet and lifestyle. Spreading your daily fat intake evenly across three meals, taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime, and maintaining regular physical activity can support your weight management goals throughout treatment.
