Orlistat Pack Sizes: Finding Your Perfect Supply Length
When managing weight loss with orlistat, choosing the right pack size depends on your individual tolerance and treatment goals. Gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhoea are most common during the first few weeks as your body adapts to the medication. Our flexible pack sizes from 2-12 weeks allow you to start conservatively and increase supply length as you become comfortable with the treatment.
2-Week Starter Packs: Test Your Tolerance
Generic orlistat 42 capsules for £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10) provides an ideal starting point. This 2-week supply allows you to assess how your body responds to orlistat whilst maintaining a lower-fat diet. Branded Xenical 42 capsules costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). Starting with shorter supplies helps you understand potential side effects like oily stools or diarrhoea before committing to longer treatment periods.
4-Week Monthly Supply: Most Popular Choice
The 4-week supply represents excellent value for established users. Generic orlistat 84 capsules costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 84 capsules is £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Monthly supplies provide consistent treatment without the inconvenience of frequent reordering. Most patients find gastrointestinal adaptation occurs within 2-4 weeks, making this pack size suitable once tolerance is established.
8-Week Extended Supply: Better Value
For patients comfortable with orlistat's effects, 8-week supplies offer improved convenience and cost savings. Generic orlistat 168 capsules costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), representing significant monthly savings compared to 4-week packs. Xenical 168 capsules costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Extended supplies work best when you've established your optimal low-fat diet routine and minimal side effects.
12-Week Maximum Supply: Best Value for Committed Users
Our largest pack size provides maximum convenience and savings for committed users. Generic orlistat 252 capsules costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). This 12-week supply saves approximately £9.60 compared to purchasing three 4-week packs separately. Ideal for patients who have successfully managed side effects and want to commit to longer-term treatment.
Alli 60mg Alternative Pack Sizes
For those preferring lower-dose treatment, Alli 60mg offers gentler introduction with typically milder gastrointestinal effects. Available in 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), 8-week supply (84 capsules) for £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), or 12-week supply (252 capsules) for £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). Lower dose means reduced side effect intensity whilst still providing fat-blocking benefits.
Managing Diarrhoea and Gastrointestinal Side Effects
Gastrointestinal side effects including diarrhoea, oily stools, and urgent bowel movements are common with orlistat treatment. These effects result from unabsorbed fat passing through your digestive system and typically reduce as you adapt your diet. Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise side effects significantly. Most patients find symptoms improve within 2-4 weeks as dietary habits adjust.
