Choose Your Ideal Orlistat Pack Size for Weight Management
How Orlistat Works - Fat, Not Sugar
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut - it doesn't work on sugar, carbohydrates, or protein. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes that break down fat, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your digestive system. This targeted mechanism makes orlistat effective for weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
2-Week Supply Packs - Perfect for Starting Treatment
Try orlistat with our 2-week starter packs containing 42 capsules. Generic orlistat costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical is £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to assess how orlistat works with your dietary routine whilst minimising initial investment. Following prescriber approval, you can order your 2-week supply for next day delivery across the UK.
4-Week Supply - Most Popular Choice
Our 4-week packs (84 capsules) offer excellent value and convenience. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), saving you money compared to 2-week packs. Xenical 4-week supply is £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 4-week packs cost £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). This duration allows you to establish a routine whilst monitoring your response to treatment.
8-Week Supply - Better Value Option
Maximise savings with 8-week supplies (168 capsules for prescription strength). Generic orlistat 8-week supply costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), offering significant per-capsule savings. Xenical 8-week supply is £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Alli 8-week packs (84 capsules due to lower strength) cost £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). These larger packs suit patients committed to sustained weight management programmes.
12-Week Supply - Maximum Savings
Our 12-week supplies (252 capsules) provide the best value for long-term treatment. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Alli 12-week supply is £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). These extended packs are ideal for patients established on treatment who want maximum convenience and savings. All packs include prescription costs - no separate GP fees required.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - the key difference is cost. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat. Alli 60mg offers half the prescription strength, making it suitable for those preferring a lower-strength starting point. Your prescriber will help determine which option suits your individual circumstances and weight management goals.
