Orlistat 120mg Pack Sizes - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat 120mg capsules offer the most cost-effective weight management solution. Our 2-week starter pack contains 42 capsules for £15.20 (with EDM10), perfect for trying the treatment. The 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £29.69, whilst the 8-week pack (168 capsules) is £57.59. For maximum savings, choose the 12-week supply at £86.39 - saving £9.60 compared to buying smaller packs.
Xenical 120mg Pack Sizes - Branded Option
Xenical contains the same orlistat 120mg active ingredient as generic versions but is manufactured by Roche. Pack sizes include 2-week supply (42 capsules) for £19.35, 4-week supply (84 capsules) for £38.69, 8-week supply (168 capsules) for £78.29, and 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £116.09 with EDM10 discount. Both orlistat and Xenical are clinically equivalent - the key difference is cost.
Alli 60mg Pack Sizes - Lower Strength Option
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Available in 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £26.09, 8-week supply (84 capsules) for £49.49, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £116.99 with code EDM10. This lower-strength option may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point for weight management support.
How Pack Sizes Work With Dosing
Orlistat and Xenical 120mg are taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. This equals 21 capsules per week, so a 42-capsule pack provides approximately 2 weeks' treatment, 84 capsules provide 4 weeks, 168 capsules provide 8 weeks, and 252 capsules provide 12 weeks. Alli 60mg follows the same dosing schedule but at half the strength.
Savings Analysis - Why Longer Packs Offer Better Value
Choosing longer treatment packs significantly reduces cost per capsule. For orlistat 120mg, the 12-week pack works out at £2.75 per week compared to £7.60 per week for 2-week packs. Xenical 12-week supplies cost £9.68 per week versus £9.68 for shorter packs. These savings add up substantially over longer treatment periods, making 8-week and 12-week supplies the most economical choices.
Which Pack Size Should You Choose?
Your pack size choice depends on your treatment goals and experience with orlistat. First-time users often prefer 2-week or 4-week starter packs to assess tolerance and effectiveness. Experienced users typically choose 8-week or 12-week supplies for better value. Following online consultation, your prescriber can advise on the most appropriate pack size for your individual circumstances. All pack sizes are subject to clinical assessment and prescriber approval.
