Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size for Optimal Results
Understanding Orlistat Effects by Pack Size
The effects of orlistat remain consistent regardless of pack size - each 120mg capsule blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. However, choosing the right supply length can significantly impact your treatment success and cost savings. Our 2-week supply (42 capsules, £15.20 with EDM10) is ideal for first-time users wanting to assess tolerance, while our 12-week supply (252 capsules, £86.39 with EDM10) offers the best value for committed long-term treatment.
Orlistat 120mg Pack Options
Generic orlistat provides the most cost-effective option across all pack sizes. Our 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs just £29.69 with EDM10, compared to £38.69 for equivalent Xenical. The 8-week supply (168 capsules, £57.59 with EDM10) provides two months of treatment without prescription renewal, whilst our 12-week supply offers maximum convenience and savings. All packs contain the same 120mg strength requiring prescription following clinical assessment.
Xenical Brand Options
Branded Xenical contains identical orlistat 120mg but costs more per capsule. Our Xenical 2-week supply costs £19.35 with EDM10, rising to £116.09 for the 12-week pack. The clinical effects are identical to generic orlistat - both block the same proportion of dietary fat absorption. Some patients prefer branded Xenical whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your needs.
Alli 60mg Lower-Strength Options
Alli provides half the strength of prescription orlistat, available in 4-week (£26.09), 8-week (£49.49) and 12-week (£116.99) supplies with EDM10. This lower dose may produce milder gastrointestinal effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Alli requires taking one capsule three times daily with main meals, the same as prescription-strength orlistat.
Maximising Savings with Longer Supplies
Choosing longer supplies reduces cost per capsule and ensures treatment continuity. Our 12-week orlistat supply saves over £15 compared to buying three separate 4-week packs. Use code EDM10 for 10% off any pack size - this discount applies to new and returning customers. All orders include free next day delivery from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy, with discreet packaging and prescription included in the price.
Planning Your Treatment Duration
Most patients benefit from consistent orlistat use over several months to achieve meaningful weight management results. The effects of orlistat work best when combined with sustained dietary changes and regular physical activity. Starting with a 4-week supply allows assessment of tolerance and side effects, whilst 8-12 week supplies suit patients confident in continuing treatment. Your prescriber will advise appropriate treatment duration during clinical assessment.
