Choose Your Ideal Pack Size for Orlistat Treatment
How Orlistat Pills Work for Weight Management
Orlistat pills work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary sources. The medication acts locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain, making it a targeted approach to weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
2 Week Supply Options - Perfect for Starting Treatment
A 2-week supply allows you to assess how your body responds to orlistat treatment. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 for 42 capsules (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical 120mg is £21.50 for the same quantity (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply is ideal if you're new to orlistat or want to monitor side effects before committing to longer treatment periods.
4 Week Supply - Most Popular Choice
Our 4-week supply (84 capsules) represents excellent value whilst providing sufficient time to establish your routine. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £28.99 for 42 capsules lasting 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). Most patients find this duration perfect for assessing treatment effectiveness.
8 Week Supply - Better Value for Ongoing Treatment
Extended supplies offer better value per capsule. An 8-week pack of generic orlistat (168 capsules) costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 8-week supply (84 capsules) is £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). Choose this option once you've established tolerance and want to continue treatment without frequent reordering.
12 Week Supply - Maximum Savings
Our largest pack size offers the best value for long-term treatment. Generic orlistat 252 capsules cost £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), representing significant savings compared to shorter supplies. Xenical 12-week supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10), whilst Alli costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). This option suits patients committed to extended weight management programmes.
Generic vs Branded - Which Should You Choose?
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat can save you approximately £30 on a 12-week supply compared to Xenical. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
