Which Orlistat Pack Size Should You Choose?
Understanding Orlistat Pack Sizes and Treatment Duration
Orlistat 120mg works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your choice of pack size depends on your treatment goals, budget, and how your body responds to the medication. Each capsule is taken three times daily with main meals containing fat, meaning you'll need 21 capsules per week for effective treatment.
2-Week Starter Packs: Perfect for First-Time Users
Our 42-capsule packs provide exactly 2 weeks of treatment at £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10). This starter size is ideal if you're trying orlistat for the first time and want to assess how your body responds before committing to longer supplies. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at a more affordable price point, making it perfect for testing treatment suitability.
4-Week Monthly Supplies: Popular Choice for Ongoing Treatment
Our 84-capsule packs supply one month of treatment at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). This popular pack size suits patients who prefer monthly ordering and have established that orlistat works well for their weight management goals. Branded Xenical 120mg is also available in 4-week packs at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for those who prefer the original branded version.
8-Week Extended Packs: Better Value for Committed Users
Our 168-capsule packs provide 8 weeks of treatment with improved value at £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) for generic orlistat. This extended supply suits patients who have successfully used orlistat and want fewer delivery interruptions whilst enjoying better per-capsule pricing. The 8-week supply saves approximately £1.40 compared to buying four 2-week packs separately.
12-Week Maximum Packs: Best Savings for Long-Term Treatment
Our largest 252-capsule packs offer 12 weeks of treatment at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) for generic orlistat. This represents our best value option, saving over £15 compared to buying six 2-week packs separately. The 12-week supply is perfect for patients committed to long-term weight management who want maximum convenience and savings. Xenical 12-week packs are available at £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10).
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative Pack Sizes
For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg (half the dose of prescription orlistat) is available in 4-week supplies at £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), 8-week supplies at £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), and 12-week supplies at £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). Alli provides a gentler introduction to lipase inhibitor treatment with typically milder gastrointestinal side effects.
Clinical Assessment Required for All Pack Sizes
Regardless of pack size chosen, all orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg orders require clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our prescribers review every application individually to ensure treatment suitability and safety. Prescriptions are typically approved within hours, with same-day dispatch from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
