Choose Your Orlistat Supply Duration & Save Money
How Quickly Does Orlistat Start Working?
Orlistat begins working immediately after taking your first capsule. The medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat naturally passing through your digestive system. However, meaningful weight management results typically develop over several weeks when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
2-Week Supply: Getting Started
Our 2-week starter packs contain 42 capsules, perfect for trying orlistat or bridging between prescriptions. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg is £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to assess tolerance and effectiveness before committing to longer treatment periods.
4-Week Supply: Establishing Your Routine
The 4-week supply (84 capsules) helps establish consistent results while maintaining affordability. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), offering excellent value compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 4-week packs cost £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10) for those preferring lower-dose treatment.
8-Week Supply: Building Momentum
Eight-week supplies (168 capsules) provide better value per week while supporting sustained weight management efforts. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), significantly less than Xenical at £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Alli 8-week supply costs £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), offering consistent lower-dose support.
12-Week Supply: Maximum Savings & Commitment
Our 12-week supply (252 capsules) offers the best value for committed long-term treatment. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), compared to Xenical at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). This represents savings of nearly £10 compared to buying smaller packs repeatedly. Alli 12-week supply costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10).
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical & Alli
All contain the same active ingredient orlistat but at different strengths. Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically identical prescription-only medicines, with the generic offering significant cost savings. Alli 60mg provides half-strength dosing with typically milder side effects. Your prescriber will help determine the most suitable option during your online consultation.
