Orlistat and Metformin: A Safe Combination
Orlistat can be safely taken alongside metformin, making it suitable for adults with type 2 diabetes who need weight management support. Both medications work through different mechanisms - orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, while metformin helps control blood sugar levels. This combination may be particularly beneficial for diabetes patients, as weight loss can improve blood sugar control when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
2-Week Supply Options - Ideal for Starting Treatment
Our 2-week starter packs contain 42 capsules, perfect for trying orlistat or maintaining flexibility in your treatment plan. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and offer the same clinical effect. Two-week supplies let you assess tolerance and adjust your approach before committing to longer treatment periods.
4-Week Supply - Popular Monthly Option
Four-week packs (84 capsules) provide convenient monthly dosing. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) versus Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) - saving nearly £9 monthly with the generic option. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10) for 42 capsules lasting 4 weeks. This duration suits patients establishing routine whilst monitoring progress with their healthcare provider.
8-Week Supply - Better Value Option
Eight-week supplies (168 capsules) offer improved value for established users. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), while Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 8-week packs contain 84 capsules for £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). Choosing 8-week supplies saves approximately £6 compared to ordering two separate 4-week packs, whilst reducing reorder frequency.
12-Week Supply - Maximum Savings
Our 12-week supplies (252 capsules) provide the best value for long-term users. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) - saving over £20 compared to six 2-week orders. Xenical 12-week packs cost £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10), while Alli costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). These larger packs suit patients established on treatment who want maximum convenience and cost savings.
