Find Your Perfect Orlistat Supply Length
Understanding Orlistat and Heartburn Concerns
If you're researching whether orlistat can cause heartburn, you're taking the right approach to informed treatment planning. Whilst heartburn isn't commonly reported with orlistat, choosing the right supply length allows you to assess how your body responds whilst ensuring good value. Our range covers 2-week trial periods through to cost-effective 12-week supplies across all three orlistat options.
2-Week Supply: Perfect for Starting Treatment
New to orlistat? Our 2-week supplies let you begin treatment with confidence. Generic orlistat 120mg (42 capsules) costs £16.89, reduced to £15.20 with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg 2-week supply costs £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to monitor any side effects, including digestive concerns, whilst establishing your response to treatment.
4-Week Supply: Balanced Choice for Most Patients
Our 4-week supplies offer excellent value whilst providing sufficient time to assess treatment response. Generic orlistat 84 capsules cost £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg is available as a 4-week supply (42 capsules) for £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), offering a lower-strength alternative if you're concerned about side effects.
8-Week Supply: Optimal Value and Convenience
Extended supplies reduce ordering frequency whilst delivering better value. Our 8-week orlistat supply (168 capsules) costs £63.99, reduced to £57.59 with EDM10 - saving you over £6 compared to buying four 2-week packs. Xenical 8-week supply costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10), whilst Alli 84 capsules cost £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10).
12-Week Supply: Maximum Savings for Established Users
Our 12-week supplies offer the best value for patients established on treatment. Generic orlistat 252 capsules cost £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) - that's over £15 in savings compared to buying six 2-week packs. Xenical 12-week supply costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10), whilst Alli 252 capsules cost £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). These extended supplies are perfect once you've confirmed treatment suitability.
Comparing Your Treatment Options
Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same strength, both requiring prescription following clinical assessment. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers savings of approximately £9 per month. Alli 60mg provides half the strength for those preferring a gentler starting approach. All three treatments work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Managing Potential Side Effects
Whilst heartburn isn't commonly associated with orlistat, the medication can cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces side effects. Starting with shorter supplies allows you to assess your individual response. Remember, orlistat works in your digestive system, not your bloodstream, and unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body.
