Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - Manage Side Effects
Understanding Orlistat and Bowel Changes
Does orlistat cause constipation? Actually, orlistat typically has the opposite effect. Unlike medications that slow digestion, orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, often leading to more frequent bowel movements rather than constipation. Our flexible pack sizes let you start small and adjust based on your body's response.
2-Week Supply - Perfect for Starting Treatment
New to orlistat? Our 2-week starter packs help you assess how your body responds. Orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10) for 42 capsules, whilst branded Xenical costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply lets you monitor any digestive changes, including the likelihood of increased rather than decreased bowel movements, before committing to longer treatment.
4-Week Supply - Most Popular Choice
Our 4-week supplies offer the perfect balance of value and flexibility. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for 84 capsules, saving you money versus separate 2-week orders. Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This duration allows your digestive system to adapt to the medication whilst providing meaningful weight management support alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
8-Week Supply - Better Value Option
Committed to your weight management journey? Our 8-week supplies provide excellent value. Orlistat 120mg costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) for 168 capsules, whilst Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). This longer supply ensures consistent treatment without frequent reordering, particularly important as your body adjusts to the medication's effects on fat absorption and bowel habits.
12-Week Supply - Maximum Savings
Our 12-week supplies offer the best value for committed users. Orlistat 120mg costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) for 252 capsules - a significant saving versus shorter packs. Xenical 12-week supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Choose this option once you're confident with the medication and have established your dietary routine to minimise side effects.
Managing Digestive Effects Across All Pack Sizes
Regardless of your chosen pack size, remember that orlistat's digestive effects are related to dietary fat intake, not constipation. Keep meals under 15g fat each to minimise oily stools and urgent bowel movements. Most patients find effects decrease over time as they adapt their diet. All our supplies come with comprehensive guidance on managing these predictable side effects.
