How Long Until Orlistat Works?
Orlistat typically begins working within 24-48 hours of your first dose. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system, so effects become noticeable when you eat meals containing fat. Most patients see initial results within the first week, making our 2-week starter packs ideal for those beginning treatment.
2-Week Supply - Perfect for Starting Treatment
Our 2-week supply contains 42 capsules and costs £16.89 for generic orlistat (£15.20 with EDM10). For branded Xenical, the 2-week pack costs £21.50 (£19.35 with code EDM10). This shorter supply length allows you to assess how well you tolerate the medication whilst following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside treatment.
4-Week Supply - Standard Monthly Treatment
The 4-week supply (84 capsules) offers convenient monthly dosing. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 4-week packs are £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 4-week supply contains 42 capsules at £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), as the lower dose requires three capsules daily.
8-Week Supply - Better Value Option
Our 8-week packs (168 capsules) provide excellent value for established treatment. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), saving you money compared to buying multiple shorter packs. Xenical 8-week supply is £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). For Alli 60mg, the 8-week pack contains 84 capsules at £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10).
12-Week Supply - Maximum Savings
The 12-week supply (252 capsules) offers the best value for long-term weight management. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), saving over £9 compared to buying six 2-week packs. Xenical 12-week supply is £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 12-week treatment costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10) for 252 capsules.
Which Pack Size Should You Choose?
Your prescriber may recommend starting with a shorter supply to assess tolerance before progressing to longer packs. The 2-week option suits first-time users, whilst established patients often choose 8 or 12-week supplies for better value. All supplies include the same clinical consultation and next-day delivery service from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
