Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - 2 to 12 Week Supply

How Quickly Does Orlistat Start Working?

Most patients notice orlistat's effects within the first few days of treatment when following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, with effects beginning immediately after taking your first capsule with a fat-containing meal. However, meaningful weight management typically becomes evident over 2-4 weeks of consistent use alongside dietary changes.

2-Week Orlistat Supply - Trial Period

Our 2-week packs are ideal for those starting orlistat treatment. Generic orlistat 42 capsules cost £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst Xenical 42 capsules cost £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to assess how your body responds to treatment before committing to a longer course. Most patients experience orlistat's fat-blocking effects within the first week.

4-Week Orlistat Supply - Standard Monthly Treatment

Our 4-week supply (84 capsules) offers excellent value for ongoing treatment. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This pack size aligns with typical monthly prescribing patterns and provides sufficient treatment duration to establish consistent results. Order your 4-week supply online today following clinical assessment.

8-Week Orlistat Supply - Enhanced Value

Choose our 8-week supply (168 capsules) for better value and treatment continuity. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). This pack size suits patients who have established good tolerance and wish to maintain consistent treatment. The 8-week supply offers significant savings compared to purchasing multiple smaller packs.

12-Week Orlistat Supply - Maximum Savings

Our 12-week supply (252 capsules) provides the best value for long-term weight management. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). This extended supply ensures treatment continuity whilst maximising your savings. The 12-week option suits patients committed to sustained weight management alongside dietary changes.

Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Prices

Both generic orlistat and branded Xenical contain identical 120mg orlistat doses with equivalent clinical effects. The key difference lies in pricing - generic orlistat offers substantial savings whilst delivering the same fat-blocking mechanism. Choose generic orlistat for maximum value or Xenical if you prefer the branded option. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment.
