Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length - Price Comparison
How Orlistat Works - It's Not an Appetite Suppressant
Unlike stimulant-based diet pills that suppress appetite, orlistat works entirely in your digestive system. It inhibits lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat, preventing approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your calorie intake from dietary fat. Orlistat doesn't affect your brain or hunger signals - it's a fat absorption inhibitor, not an appetite suppressant.
2-Week Supply - Perfect for Starting Treatment
Our 2-week starter packs contain 42 capsules, ideal for those beginning orlistat treatment. Generic orlistat 2-week supply costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while Xenical 2-week packs are £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to assess how well you tolerate the medication before committing to longer treatment periods. Most prescribers recommend starting with a shorter supply to monitor your response.
4-Week Supply - Standard Monthly Treatment
Our 4-week packs (84 capsules) represent one month of treatment and offer better value than 2-week supplies. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) versus £33.78 for two 2-week packs. Xenical 4-week packs cost £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 4-week supply (42 capsules as it's half strength) costs £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). The 4-week supply is popular for establishing a treatment routine.
8-Week Supply - Better Value for Ongoing Treatment
Choose 8-week packs (168 capsules) for significant savings on continued treatment. Generic orlistat 8-week supply costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) - saving over £10 compared to four 2-week packs. Xenical 8-week packs cost £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), while Alli 8-week supply costs £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). This supply length suits patients who've successfully established their treatment routine and want better value.
12-Week Supply - Maximum Savings for Long-Term Treatment
Our 12-week packs (252 capsules) offer the best value for established patients committed to longer treatment. Generic orlistat 12-week supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) - saving over £25 compared to six 2-week packs. Xenical 12-week packs cost £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10), while Alli 12-week supply costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). This represents three months of treatment at the lowest per-capsule cost.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
All three contain orlistat but at different strengths and prices. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the best value with identical clinical effects to branded Xenical 120mg. Xenical costs approximately £10-15 more per month but some patients prefer the branded option. Alli 60mg is half the prescription strength, suitable for those preferring a lower-dose starting point. Your prescriber will help determine which option and supply length best suits your treatment goals and budget.
