Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length: Compare Pack Sizes
Orlistat vs Saxenda: Supply Options Comparison
When comparing orlistat capsules to Saxenda injections, pack size flexibility offers significant advantages for weight management planning. Orlistat is available in convenient 2, 4, 8 and 12 week supplies, allowing you to choose the treatment length that matches your goals and budget. Unlike daily injectable Saxenda, orlistat capsules are taken orally with meals, making treatment more straightforward for many patients.
2 Week Supply: Perfect for Starting Treatment
Our 2 week orlistat supply (42 capsules) costs £16.89, or just £15.20 with code EDM10. This shorter supply length is ideal for first-time users wanting to assess tolerability before committing to longer treatment periods. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the same clinical effect as branded alternatives while Xenical 2 week packs cost £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). Both options require online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
4 Week Supply: Most Popular Choice
The 4 week supply (84 capsules) represents excellent value at £32.99 for generic orlistat, reduced to £29.69 with EDM10 discount. This month-long supply allows sufficient time to establish routine while monitoring weight management progress alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Xenical 4 week packs cost £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), offering branded reassurance at a premium price point.
8 Week Supply: Enhanced Savings
Our 8 week orlistat supply (168 capsules) delivers enhanced savings at £63.99, dropping to £57.59 with code EDM10. This two-month supply suits patients committed to sustained weight management, providing continuity without frequent reordering. The equivalent Xenical 8 week pack costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). Both options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken with meals containing fat.
12 Week Supply: Maximum Value
The 12 week supply (252 capsules) offers maximum value for committed users at £95.99, or £86.39 with EDM10 discount. This three-month supply supports extended treatment plans while delivering the best cost per capsule. Xenical 12 week packs cost £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). All supplies include prescription service from our GPhC-registered pharmacy with next day delivery across the UK.
Alli 60mg: Alternative Supply Options
For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg is available in 4 week (£28.99/£26.09 with EDM10), 8 week (£54.99/£49.49 with EDM10) and 12 week supplies (£129.99/£116.99 with EDM10). Each capsule contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, potentially offering milder gastrointestinal effects while supporting weight management alongside dietary changes.
Why Choose Orlistat Over Injectable Alternatives
Orlistat capsules offer practical advantages over injectable treatments like Saxenda. No needles, refrigeration or injection training required - simply take one capsule with each main meal containing fat. Treatment works locally in the gut rather than systemically, with established safety profile and flexible dosing. Skip doses when meals contain no fat, making orlistat adaptable to varied eating patterns.
