How to Take Orlistat Tablets - Dosing Schedule
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg should be taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a meal without fat, you can skip that dose. This means you'll need 21 capsules per week for full treatment.
2-Week Supply - Perfect for Starting Treatment
Our 42-capsule packs provide exactly 2 weeks of treatment when taking orlistat correctly. Generic orlistat costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This pack size is ideal for first-time users wanting to try orlistat following clinical assessment.
4-Week Supply - Most Popular Choice
The 84-capsule pack offers a full month's treatment. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) and Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This represents excellent value compared to buying two 2-week packs separately. Alli 60mg is also available as a 4-week supply for £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10).
8-Week Supply - Better Value for Continuing Treatment
Our 168-capsule packs provide 8 weeks of treatment with increasing savings. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), while Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Alli 60mg 8-week supply costs £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). This pack size suits patients established on treatment.
12-Week Supply - Maximum Savings
The 252-capsule pack offers the best value per capsule over 12 weeks. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10), and Alli costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). Save up to £9.60 compared to buying multiple smaller packs.
Why Pack Size Matters for Your Treatment
Choosing the right pack size depends on your treatment plan and budget. Orlistat works best when taken consistently alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Longer pack sizes ensure continuity of treatment and offer significant cost savings. All prescriptions are reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers and dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
