Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length - Best Value Packs
Understanding Orlistat and Headaches
Headaches are listed as an uncommon side effect of orlistat, affecting fewer than 1 in 10 people taking the medication. Most patients experience gastrointestinal side effects rather than headaches when starting orlistat treatment. If you experience persistent headaches while taking orlistat, consult your healthcare professional for guidance. The good news is that choosing the right supply length helps ensure consistent treatment while managing costs effectively.
2-Week Supply Options - Trial Period
Starting with a 2-week supply allows you to assess how orlistat works for you, including monitoring for any side effects like headaches. Generic orlistat 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £16.89, reduced to £15.20 with EDM10. Xenical 2-week supply costs £21.50, reduced to £19.35 with code EDM10. This shorter supply length is ideal for first-time users wanting to evaluate their response to treatment before committing to larger quantities.

Managing Side Effects Including Headaches
If headaches occur while taking orlistat, they typically develop during the first few weeks of treatment. Keeping a low-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal) helps minimise all side effects. Stay well-hydrated and maintain regular meal times to support your treatment. Should headaches persist or worsen, contact your healthcare professional for advice. Most patients find side effects, including any headaches, reduce as their body adjusts to treatment and their diet adapts.
