Which Orlistat Pack Size Should You Choose?
2-Week Orlistat Supply (42 Capsules)
Perfect for first-time users wanting to try orlistat or those completing a short treatment course. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). A 2-week supply allows you to assess how your body responds to the medication before committing to longer treatment. Following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, your 42-capsule pack provides exactly 14 days of treatment at the standard dose of one capsule three times daily with meals.
4-Week Orlistat Supply (84 Capsules)
Our most popular choice for patients starting orlistat treatment. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for 84 capsules, offering better value than two separate 2-week packs. Branded Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Four weeks provides sufficient time to establish a routine with your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet whilst taking orlistat. Alli 60mg is also available as a 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10).
8-Week Orlistat Supply (168 Capsules)
Ideal for patients who have successfully used orlistat previously and want extended treatment. Generic orlistat 168 capsules cost £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 8-week supply costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Eight weeks allows consistent treatment alongside your structured weight management programme. Alli 60mg 8-week supply (84 capsules) costs £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). All 8-week supplies offer significant per-capsule savings compared to shorter packs.
12-Week Orlistat Supply (252 Capsules)
Maximum value option for committed long-term treatment. Generic orlistat 252 capsules cost £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) - equivalent to just £7.20 per week with discount code EDM10. Branded Xenical 12-week supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). These bulk packs provide the best per-capsule value whilst ensuring continuous treatment availability.
Choosing Between Generic Orlistat and Branded Options
Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Both require prescription following clinical assessment and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat offers substantial savings - a 12-week supply costs £42.60 less than equivalent Xenical with EDM10 discount. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at half the prescription dose. Your prescriber will help determine which option suits your individual circumstances best.
Treatment Duration and Pack Selection
Orlistat treatment duration varies between individuals based on weight loss goals and clinical response. Many patients benefit from 12-week initial treatment courses, making longer packs more economical. However, some prefer starting with shorter supplies to assess tolerance. All pack sizes work at the standard dose of one capsule with each main meal containing fat. If you miss meals or eat fat-free meals, you can skip doses, potentially extending pack duration. Discuss optimal treatment length with your prescriber during clinical assessment.
