Orlistat Pack Sizes - Find Your Perfect Supply Length
Selecting the right orlistat pack size helps ensure consistent treatment whilst maximising value. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks four convenient supply lengths for orlistat 120mg: 2-week (42 capsules) at £15.20 with EDM10, 4-week (84 capsules) at £29.69, 8-week (168 capsules) at £57.59, and 12-week (252 capsules) at £86.39. Longer packs offer better value per capsule whilst ensuring you don't run out mid-treatment.
Best Time to Take Orlistat for Maximum Effect
Take one orlistat 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. The optimal timing is immediately before, during, or within one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can omit that dose. This flexible dosing means a 42-capsule pack lasts approximately two weeks, 84 capsules four weeks, 168 capsules eight weeks, and 252 capsules twelve weeks when following standard dosing guidelines.
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to Xenical at £38.69. For 12-week supplies, choose orlistat 252 capsules at £86.39 versus Xenical at £116.09 - saving over £29 per 12-week cycle. Both options require prescription following clinical assessment and work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Alli 60mg Alternative Pack Sizes
Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option with 4-week (42 capsules) at £26.09, 8-week (84 capsules) at £49.49, and 12-week (252 capsules) at £116.99 with EDM10. As Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, it may cause milder gastrointestinal effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
All orlistat 120mg and Xenical supplies require prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. Suitable candidates typically have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions. Your chosen pack size is dispensed and dispatched the same day when approved, with next day tracked delivery included.
Maximising Value with Longer Supply Packs
Twelve-week orlistat supplies offer the best per-capsule value whilst ensuring treatment continuity. The 252-capsule pack at £86.39 with EDM10 works out at just 34p per capsule versus 36p for smaller packs. Longer supplies also reduce reorder frequency and shipping costs. Our 10% EDM10 discount applies to every order for both new and returning customers, making extended supplies even more cost-effective for ongoing weight management support.
