Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length for Better Results
Why Orlistat May Not Be Working Effectively
When patients report that orlistat isn't working as expected, inconsistent supply or inadequate treatment duration are often contributing factors. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but this effect requires consistent daily dosing with each main meal containing fat. Gaps in treatment or switching between different supply lengths can disrupt the mechanism of action and reduce effectiveness alongside your structured weight management programme.
2-Week Supply Options - Getting Started
Our 2-week starter packs are ideal for beginning orlistat treatment or trialling the medication following clinical assessment. Orlistat 120mg (42 capsules) costs £16.89, reduced to £15.20 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect at £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). These shorter supplies allow you to assess tolerance and side effects before committing to longer treatment periods. Each pack provides exactly 14 days of treatment when taken as directed - one capsule three times daily with meals containing fat.
4-Week Supply - The Most Popular Choice
Four-week supplies represent our most popular pack size, offering excellent value while maintaining treatment consistency. Generic orlistat 120mg (84 capsules) costs £32.99, saving £1.79 compared to two 2-week packs, and just £29.69 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 (£38.69 with discount). Alli 60mg 4-week packs contain 42 capsules at £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). This supply length supports sustained fat absorption reduction as part of your lower-fat, reduced-calorie diet without frequent reordering.
8-Week Supply - Enhanced Savings and Consistency
Eight-week supplies (168 capsules for 120mg products, 84 capsules for Alli) offer significant cost savings and treatment consistency. Orlistat 120mg costs £63.99, representing savings of £1.99 compared to four 2-week packs, and £57.59 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg costs £86.99 (£78.29 with discount). Alli 60mg 8-week supply costs £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). Longer supplies help maintain consistent lipase inhibition, supporting weight management goals alongside dietary and lifestyle changes recommended by healthcare professionals.
12-Week Supply - Maximum Value and Treatment Consistency
Our 12-week supplies offer maximum savings for committed weight management programmes. Orlistat 120mg (252 capsules) costs £95.99, saving £5.35 compared to six 2-week packs, and £86.39 with EDM10 - that's £9.60 in total savings. Xenical 120mg costs £128.99 (£116.09 with discount). Alli 60mg 12-week supply costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). These extended supplies ensure uninterrupted treatment, supporting the mechanism of dietary fat blocking that requires consistent daily dosing for optimal effectiveness.
Comparing Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same clinical dose. Generic orlistat offers substantial savings - £29.69 for 4 weeks compared to Xenical's £38.69 with EDM10, saving £9 monthly. Both products block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through the same lipase inhibition mechanism. Some patients prefer branded Xenical, while others choose generic orlistat for value. Your prescriber can advise which option suits your treatment plan following clinical assessment.
