Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - Better Value on Longer Supplies
How to Take Orlistat - Dosing Schedule for All Pack Sizes
Orlistat 120mg capsules (both generic and Xenical) are taken one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. This dosing schedule applies whether you choose a 2-week starter pack or commit to a 12-week supply for maximum savings.
With three capsules per day, your supply duration depends on pack size: 42 capsules provide 2 weeks treatment (£16.89, or £15.20 with EDM10), whilst 252 capsules offer a full 12-week programme at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) - saving you over £35 compared to buying six 2-week packs.
2-Week Supply: Perfect for Starting Treatment
Our 42-capsule packs provide an ideal introduction to orlistat therapy. Generic orlistat 2-week supply costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical 2-week supply is £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to assess tolerability whilst following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet before committing to longer treatment periods.
4-Week Supply: Monthly Treatment Convenience
84-capsule packs offer one month of treatment. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), providing better value than two 2-week packs. Xenical 4-week supply is £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Monthly supplies suit patients establishing their routine alongside dietary changes and regular prescriber reviews.
8-Week Supply: Extended Treatment with Savings
168-capsule packs deliver two months of treatment with increased savings. Generic orlistat 8-week supply costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 8-week supply is £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Eight-week supplies are ideal for established patients following successful initial treatment periods.
12-Week Supply: Maximum Value for Committed Treatment
252-capsule packs offer our best value with over 20% savings compared to equivalent 2-week purchases. Generic orlistat 12-week supply costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 12-week supply is £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 12-week supply (252 capsules taken differently due to lower dose) costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10).
Taking Orlistat with Lower-Fat Meals
Regardless of pack size chosen, orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Keep each meal to roughly 15g fat content to minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising treatment effectiveness. If a meal contains no fat, you may skip that dose. This flexible dosing applies to all supply durations, helping you adapt treatment to your eating patterns throughout your chosen treatment period.
