Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length: 2-12 Week Options
How Orlistat's Mechanism Works Across All Pack Sizes
Orlistat's mechanism of action remains consistent whether you choose a 2-week starter pack or commit to a 12-week supply. The medication works 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, supporting weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
2-Week Supply: Testing Tolerance (42 Capsules)
Our 2-week orlistat supply (42 capsules) lets you experience the mechanism of action while assessing tolerance. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg is £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply helps you understand how orlistat blocks dietary fat absorption and manage any initial gastrointestinal effects before committing to longer treatment.
4-Week Supply: Establishing Routine (84 Capsules)
The 4-week supply (84 capsules) allows you to establish a routine with orlistat's fat-blocking mechanism. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), Xenical £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), and Alli 60mg £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). This supply length helps you adapt your diet to maximise orlistat's mechanism while minimising side effects through consistent lower-fat meals.
8-Week Supply: Sustained Fat Blocking (168 Capsules)
Extended 8-week supplies (168 capsules) provide sustained fat-blocking action with better value. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), offering significant savings versus shorter packs. Xenical 8-week supply costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), while Alli is £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). This duration allows orlistat's mechanism to support consistent weight management alongside your dietary changes.
12-Week Supply: Maximum Value Fat Blocking (252 Capsules)
Our 12-week supplies offer maximum value for sustained orlistat treatment. Generic orlistat 252 capsules cost £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), saving £9.60 versus shorter packs. Xenical 12-week supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10), while Alli is £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). This extended supply ensures consistent fat-blocking action supporting long-term weight management goals.
Mechanism Consistency Across All Strengths
Whether you choose orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, or Alli 60mg, the fundamental mechanism remains the same - lipase enzyme inhibition in your gut. The 120mg prescription strengths block approximately one third of dietary fat, while Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option. All work best alongside reduced-calorie, lower-fat meals to minimise gastrointestinal effects while maximising weight management support.
