Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size: 2-12 Week Supply Options
How Does Xenical Work? Clinical Mechanism Explained
Xenical, generic orlistat and Alli all contain the active ingredient orlistat, which works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This action blocks approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed into your body. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, potentially supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Clinical effectiveness is identical whether you choose generic orlistat 120mg at £86.39 for 12 weeks or branded Xenical at £116.09 for the same supply with EDM10.
2 Week Supply: Perfect for Treatment Trials
Our 2-week starter packs contain 42 capsules, providing enough orlistat for initial treatment assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £15.20 with EDM10, whilst Xenical 120mg is £19.35 for the same period. This shorter supply allows you to evaluate how your body responds to treatment before committing to longer packs. Many prescribers recommend starting with 2-4 week supplies to monitor side effects and ensure the lower-fat dietary changes work effectively alongside your medication.
4 Week Supply: Balanced Treatment Option
The 4-week supply (84 capsules) offers excellent value at £29.69 for generic orlistat or £38.69 for Xenical with EDM10. This duration provides sufficient time to establish dietary routines and experience orlistat's mechanism of blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Four weeks also allows meaningful assessment of weight management progress alongside your reduced-calorie eating plan whilst managing any initial gastrointestinal side effects.
8 Week Supply: Extended Treatment Value
Our 8-week packs (168 capsules) deliver significant savings compared to shorter supplies. Generic orlistat costs £57.59 with EDM10 - that's £28.80 per month compared to £30.40 for consecutive 2-week purchases. Xenical 8-week supply is £78.29 with EDM10. Extended treatment allows sustained support for your weight management goals, giving your body time to adapt to the lower-fat diet essential for minimising side effects whilst maintaining orlistat's fat-blocking benefits.
12 Week Supply: Maximum Savings and Convenience
The 12-week supply (252 capsules) provides the best value for sustained treatment. Generic orlistat costs just £86.39 with EDM10 - saving £9.60 compared to regular pricing. Xenical 12-week supply is £116.09 with EDM10. This extended pack ensures treatment continuity without frequent reordering, whilst the significant cost savings make long-term weight management more affordable. Many patients find 12 weeks allows sufficient time to establish lasting dietary and lifestyle changes alongside orlistat treatment.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli contains half the orlistat dose of prescription-strength products. Available in 4-week (£26.09), 8-week (£49.49) and 12-week (£116.99) supplies with EDM10, Alli provides a lower-intensity option. However, prescription-strength orlistat 120mg offers superior value - our 12-week generic supply costs £30.60 less than equivalent Alli whilst providing double the clinical potency for blocking dietary fat absorption.
