Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size: 2-12 Week Options
How Orlistat May Affect Your Menstrual Cycle
Many women wonder whether orlistat affects their periods when choosing treatment duration. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption and may influence your menstrual cycle in several ways. As orlistat can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins including vitamin K, some women experience changes to their cycle timing or flow. Additionally, weight loss itself can impact hormone levels and menstrual regularity. When selecting your pack size, consider that cycle changes often stabilise after 2-3 months of treatment, making longer supplies like our 8-week (£57.59 with EDM10) or 12-week packs (£86.39 with EDM10) more practical for monitoring patterns.
Orlistat Pack Sizes and Pricing
Our generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value across all pack sizes. The 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £15.20 with EDM10 - ideal for first-time users wanting to assess tolerance. Our popular 4-week pack (84 capsules) provides a full month's treatment for £29.69 with EDM10. For established users, the 8-week supply (168 capsules) at £57.59 with EDM10 offers convenience and savings, whilst our 12-week pack (252 capsules) delivers maximum value at £86.39 with EDM10. Each pack includes full prescriber assessment and next day delivery from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
Xenical Branded Options
Prefer branded Xenical? Our 2-week Xenical supply starts at £19.35 with EDM10, with 4-week packs at £38.69 with EDM10. The 8-week Xenical supply costs £78.29 with EDM10, whilst our 12-week pack is £116.09 with EDM10. Xenical contains identical orlistat 120mg to our generic version but some patients prefer the branded option. Both products work identically - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat when taken with meals containing fat.
Alli 60mg Lower-Strength Alternative
For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg offers gentler introduction to orlistat therapy. Our 4-week Alli supply (42 capsules) costs £26.09 with EDM10, perfect for assessing tolerance. The 8-week pack (84 capsules) is £49.49 with EDM10, whilst our 12-week supply (252 capsules) offers comprehensive treatment at £116.99 with EDM10. Alli's lower dose may cause milder side effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Managing Periods During Orlistat Treatment
When planning your orlistat course duration, consider that menstrual changes typically occur within the first 2-3 treatment months. Starting with a 4-week or 8-week supply allows you to monitor any cycle changes before committing to longer treatment. Take a daily multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins at bedtime (2+ hours after your last orlistat dose) to support hormone production. If you experience significant menstrual irregularities, consult your healthcare provider - they may recommend adjusting treatment duration or investigating other causes.
