Understanding Fat Intake on Orlistat Treatment
When taking orlistat, keeping fat intake low is essential for both effectiveness and minimising side effects. Orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but consuming high-fat meals significantly increases gastrointestinal side effects. The recommended approach is limiting fat to around 15g per meal, spread across three main meals daily. This approach helps maximise treatment benefits whilst reducing the likelihood of oily stools, urgent bowel movements, and other gut-related side effects that may occur with orlistat.
Orlistat 120mg Pack Sizes and Pricing
Our generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value across all pack sizes. The 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £16.89, reduced to £15.20 with EDM10. For longer treatment, the 4-week pack (84 capsules) is £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst 8-week supplies (168 capsules) cost £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10). The best value 12-week pack (252 capsules) is £95.99, just £86.39 with our EDM10 discount code. Each capsule contains 120mg orlistat - the full prescription strength that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat when taken with meals.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Option Pack Sizes
Xenical contains identical orlistat 120mg but as the branded version from Roche. Pack pricing reflects the premium branding: 2-week packs cost £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10), 4-week supplies are £42.99 (£38.69 with code), 8-week packs cost £86.99 (£78.29 discounted), and 12-week supplies are £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). Whilst more expensive than generic orlistat, Xenical offers the same clinical effect and fat-blocking mechanism. Some patients prefer branded medication, though the active ingredient and dosing remain identical to generic alternatives.
Alli 60mg Lower-Strength Packs
Alli provides half-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Pack sizes include 4-week supplies (42 capsules) for £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10), 8-week packs (84 capsules) at £54.99 (£49.49 discounted), and 12-week supplies (252 capsules) costing £129.99 (£116.99 with code). The lower dose typically produces milder side effects but also blocks less dietary fat compared to 120mg prescription strength. Alli requires the same low-fat diet approach, limiting meals to approximately 15g fat content to minimise gastrointestinal effects.
Choosing Your Treatment Duration
Treatment length depends on individual weight management goals and clinical assessment. Many patients start with 4-week packs to assess tolerance and effectiveness before committing to longer supplies. The 8-week option provides good value whilst allowing treatment review, whilst 12-week packs offer maximum savings for established users. Your prescriber will assess suitable treatment duration during clinical consultation. Longer packs provide better value but require consistent commitment to the low-fat diet essential for orlistat success.
