Choose Your Ideal Orlistat Supply Length
Can Orlistat Affect Your Menstrual Cycle?
Irregular menstruation is listed as an uncommon side effect of orlistat, potentially affecting up to 1 in 100 women. While not everyone experiences menstrual changes, it's important to be aware of this possibility when choosing your supply length. Starting with a shorter pack allows you to monitor how your body responds before committing to a longer treatment period.
2-Week Starter Packs - Test Your Response
Our 42-capsule packs provide a 2-week supply, perfect for first-time users concerned about potential side effects including menstrual changes. Generic orlistat 2-week supply costs £15.20 with EDM10, while Xenical 2-week is £19.35. This shorter duration lets you assess tolerance before progressing to longer supplies. Order your 2-week starter pack following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
4-Week Supply - Most Popular Choice
Our 84-capsule 4-week packs offer excellent value while providing flexibility if you experience menstrual irregularities. Generic orlistat 4-week costs £29.69 with EDM10 (saving £3.30), while Xenical 4-week is £38.69 (saving £4.30). This duration allows sufficient time to establish routine while monitoring for any cycle changes. Most patients find 4-week supplies ideal for ongoing treatment assessment.

This extended supply suits women who've successfully managed any initial menstrual irregularities and want better value per capsule.
12-Week Maximum Savings
Our largest 252-capsule 12-week packs provide maximum savings for long-term users. Generic orlistat 12-week costs £86.39 with EDM10 (saving £9.60), while Xenical 12-week is £116.09 (saving £12.90). Choose this option if you've established that orlistat doesn't significantly affect your menstrual cycle and want the best value for extended treatment. Alli 12-week packs cost £116.99 with EDM10 for the lower 60mg dose.
Managing Menstrual Changes on Orlistat
If you experience menstrual irregularities while taking orlistat, discuss this with your prescriber. These changes may be related to weight loss itself rather than the medication directly. Maintaining a consistent low-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal) optimises treatment effectiveness while minimising side effects. Keep a cycle diary to track any patterns or changes during treatment.
Order Process for All Pack Sizes
Complete our online clinical assessment where you'll be asked about menstrual history and current medications. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your information and prescribe the appropriate pack size if clinically suitable. All orlistat 120mg and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment. Choose your preferred supply length during the ordering process - you can always adjust future orders based on your response.
