Orlistat Pack Sizes - Find Your Perfect Supply Length
When starting orlistat treatment, choosing the right pack size helps ensure uninterrupted weight management support. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks orlistat in four convenient pack sizes: 2-week (42 capsules), 4-week (84 capsules), 8-week (168 capsules), and 12-week (252 capsules) supplies. Each pack is calculated based on the standard dosing of one capsule with each main meal containing fat, three times daily.
Generic Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective treatment, starting from just £15.20 for a 2-week supply with code EDM10. The 4-week supply costs £29.69, 8-week supply £57.59, and our popular 12-week supply just £86.39 with discount. Longer packs provide significant savings - the 12-week option offers approximately 12% better value than purchasing multiple smaller packs. All contain the same active ingredient as branded Xenical at identical 120mg strength.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Branded Xenical 120mg by Roche provides the same clinical effect as generic orlistat. Xenical 2-week packs cost £19.35 with EDM10, 4-week supplies £38.69, 8-week packs £78.29, and 12-week supplies £116.09. Some patients prefer the branded option for consistency. Both generic orlistat and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli 60mg offers half the strength of prescription orlistat, available without prescription requirement. Pack sizes include 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £26.09, 8-week supply (84 capsules) for £49.49, and 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £116.99, all with EDM10 discount. The lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal side effects while still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Does Orlistat Affect Your Menstrual Cycle?
Some women report menstrual irregularities while taking orlistat, though this affects individuals differently. Irregular menstruation is listed as an uncommon side effect in clinical data. Significant weight loss itself can sometimes affect hormonal balance and menstrual patterns. If you experience concerning changes to your cycle while taking orlistat, discuss this with your healthcare professional. They can assess whether the changes are treatment-related and provide appropriate guidance for your individual situation.
Choosing Your Supply Length
First-time users often start with 4-week packs to assess tolerance and effectiveness. The 8-week supply suits those established on treatment wanting moderate savings. Our 12-week packs offer maximum value for committed users following long-term weight management plans. All pack sizes include the same high-quality medication dispensed by qualified pharmacists following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
