Compare Pack Sizes: Orlistat vs Xenical Pricing
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg: Identical Effects, Different Prices
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. The clinical effect is the same - both block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals. The key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers significant savings whilst delivering the same weight management support alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
2-Week Supply Options (42 Capsules)
Perfect for trying orlistat initially or continuing short-term treatment. Orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10) whilst Xenical costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). The 2-week pack provides 42 capsules - taking one capsule with each main meal containing fat gives you exactly 14 days of treatment. This smaller pack size helps you assess how well you respond to treatment before committing to longer supplies.
4-Week Supply Options (84 Capsules)
Our most popular choice for ongoing treatment. Generic orlistat 84 capsules costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - saving you £9+ monthly. This monthly supply helps establish routine whilst providing enough treatment to see meaningful progress when combined with dietary changes. Most patients find 4 weeks sufficient to adapt to the lower-fat eating pattern that minimises side effects.
8-Week Supply Options (168 Capsules)
Better value for established users. Orlistat 168 capsules costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) whilst Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). The 8-week supply works out cheaper per capsule than smaller packs and reduces reorder frequency. This option suits patients who have successfully used orlistat previously and want to continue their weight management programme with proven treatment.
12-Week Supply Options (252 Capsules)
Maximum value for long-term treatment. Orlistat 252 capsules costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). The 12-week supply offers the best per-capsule pricing and suits patients committed to sustained weight management. This quarterly supply provides three months of continuous treatment whilst maximising your savings through bulk purchasing and our EDM10 discount code.
Alli 60mg Alternative
For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg offers half the dose of prescription orlistat. Available in 4-week supply (42 capsules) at £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), 8-week supply (84 capsules) at £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), and 12-week supply (252 capsules) at £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). The lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal effects whilst still supporting fat blocking.
How to Choose Your Pack Size
New users often start with 2-week or 4-week supplies to assess response and tolerability. Established users typically choose 8-week or 12-week packs for better value and convenience. Consider your commitment level, budget, and previous experience with orlistat. All pack sizes work identically - one capsule with each main meal containing fat, whether you choose orlistat generic or branded Xenical.
