Find the Right Pack Size for Your Orlistat Treatment
Why Pack Size Matters for Orlistat Success
Many patients wonder why orlistat isn't working as expected. Often, the issue isn't the medication itself but inconsistent treatment or insufficient duration. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but requires consistent daily use alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Choosing the right pack size ensures uninterrupted treatment and better results.
2-Week Supply: Perfect for Starting Treatment
Our 2-week packs are ideal if you're new to orlistat or want to test tolerance. Generic orlistat 42 capsules cost £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while Xenical 42 capsules are £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply lets you assess how your body responds before committing to longer treatment.
4-Week Supply: Balanced Option
The 4-week supply strikes a good balance between cost and commitment. Orlistat 84 capsules cost £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), offering month-long consistent treatment. Xenical 84 capsules are £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg is also available as a 4-week supply for £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10).
8-Week Supply: Better Value
Eight-week packs provide excellent value while ensuring two months of uninterrupted treatment. Orlistat 168 capsules cost £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), saving money compared to buying multiple shorter packs. Xenical 168 capsules are £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), while Alli 84 capsules cost £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10).
12-Week Supply: Maximum Savings
Our 12-week supplies offer the best value for committed users. Orlistat 252 capsules cost £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) - that's significant savings per capsule. Xenical 252 capsules are £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Alli 252 capsules cost £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). These larger packs ensure three months of consistent treatment, which is often when patients see optimal results.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
All three contain the same active ingredient but in different strengths. Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are prescription-only and clinically identical - the main difference is cost. Alli 60mg is half the strength, making it suitable for those preferring a gentler approach. Your prescriber will determine which is most appropriate based on your individual assessment.
