Which Orlistat Pack Size Should You Choose?
Orlistat Pack Size Options Available
EverydayMeds stocks orlistat in four convenient pack sizes designed to match different treatment durations. Our 2-week starter packs (42 capsules) cost £16.89 for generic orlistat 120mg, reducing to £15.20 with EDM10. Four-week supplies (84 capsules) are priced at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst 8-week packs (168 capsules) cost £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10). Our best-value 12-week supplies (252 capsules) are £95.99, reduced to £86.39 with code EDM10.
Branded Xenical 120mg Pack Sizes
Xenical contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat but costs slightly more as the branded version. Two-week Xenical packs start at £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10), with 4-week supplies at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Eight-week Xenical packs cost £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), whilst 12-week supplies are £128.99, reducing to £116.09 with our discount code. Both generic orlistat and Xenical work identically - the choice often comes down to budget preferences.
Alli 60mg Lower-Strength Option
Alli provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Four-week Alli supplies (42 capsules) cost £28.99, reduced to £26.09 with EDM10. Eight-week packs (84 capsules) are priced at £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), with 12-week supplies available for £129.99, dropping to £116.99 with our discount code. Alli may be suitable for those preferring a lower-strength starting point, though prescription-strength 120mg versions are more commonly prescribed for weight management.
Calculating Your Treatment Duration
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical are taken as one capsule three times daily with meals containing fat, totalling 21 capsules per week. This means 42 capsules provide approximately 2 weeks' treatment, 84 capsules last 4 weeks, 168 capsules cover 8 weeks, and 252 capsules provide 12 weeks' supply. Alli 60mg follows the same dosing schedule. Your prescriber will advise on appropriate treatment duration following your online clinical assessment.
Value Comparison Across Pack Sizes
Longer orlistat supplies offer significantly better value per capsule. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £0.36 per capsule in 2-week packs but drops to £0.34 per capsule in 12-week supplies with EDM10. This saves £9.60 over a 12-week period compared to buying six 2-week packs separately. Xenical shows similar savings patterns, whilst Alli's 12-week packs provide the most cost-effective access to this lower-strength option.
