Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - Managing Nausea Concerns
Understanding Nausea and Pack Size Selection
Nausea is listed as a common side effect that may affect up to 1 in 10 people taking orlistat. If you're concerned about experiencing nausea, starting with a smaller pack size allows you to assess your tolerance before committing to longer treatment periods. Our 2-week supply (42 capsules) at £15.20 with EDM10 provides an ideal starting point, whilst 12-week supplies offer maximum savings for established users.
Orlistat 120mg Generic - Best Value Pack Options
Our generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value across all pack sizes. The 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £16.89 or £15.20 with EDM10, perfect for first-time users concerned about side effects including nausea. The 4-week supply (84 capsules) at £29.69 with EDM10 suits most treatment cycles, whilst the 8-week pack (168 capsules) at £57.59 offers better value. For maximum savings, the 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs just £86.39 with EDM10 - saving you £9.60 compared to purchasing smaller packs.
Xenical 120mg Branded Options
Prefer the branded option? Xenical 120mg contains identical orlistat but from Roche pharmaceutical. Pack sizes mirror our generic options: 2-week supply at £19.35 with EDM10, 4-week at £38.69, 8-week at £78.29, and 12-week supply at £116.09. Whilst more expensive than generic orlistat, Xenical offers the same clinical effect with identical dosing and side effect profile, including the possibility of nausea in up to 1 in 10 users.
Alli 60mg Lower-Strength Alternative
For those particularly concerned about side effects including nausea, Alli 60mg provides half the strength of prescription orlistat. Available in 4-week supply (42 capsules) at £26.09 with EDM10, 8-week supply (84 capsules) at £49.49, and 12-week supply (252 capsules) at £116.99. The lower dose typically results in milder side effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Managing Nausea During Orlistat Treatment
If you experience nausea whilst taking orlistat, keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g fat per meal) significantly reduces all gastrointestinal side effects. Take orlistat exactly as prescribed - one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Most side effects, including nausea, reduce over time as your body adapts and your diet adjusts to lower fat content.
