Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - Save More on Longer Supplies
Why Orlistat Causes Orange Stool
Orange or oily stools are a common side effect of orlistat treatment, occurring when the medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, often appearing as orange, oily, or fatty stools. Understanding this side effect helps you plan your treatment duration and choose the most suitable pack size for your needs.
Orlistat 120mg Pack Size Options
Our generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value across all supply lengths. The 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £16.89 or £15.20 with EDM10, perfect for trying the treatment initially. The 4-week supply (84 capsules) at £32.99 or £29.69 with EDM10 provides a full month's treatment. For better value, choose the 8-week supply (168 capsules) at £63.99 or £57.59 with EDM10.

Xenical 120mg - Branded Option Pack Sizes
Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient as generic orlistat but in branded form. Available in 2-week packs (42 capsules) for £21.50 or £19.35 with EDM10, 4-week packs (84 capsules) for £42.99 or £38.69 with EDM10, 8-week packs (168 capsules) for £86.99 or £78.29 with EDM10, and 12-week packs (252 capsules) for £128.99 or £116.09 with EDM10. Both generic and branded versions may cause the same orange stool side effects.
Managing Orange Stool Side Effects
Orange stool frequency and intensity can be managed by keeping dietary fat intake low - approximately 15g fat per meal. This reduces the amount of unabsorbed fat passing through your system. Starting with a shorter supply allows you to assess how your body responds before committing to longer treatment periods. Most patients find side effects become more manageable as they adapt their diet during the first few weeks of treatment.
Which Pack Size Should You Choose?
New users often prefer starting with a 2 or 4-week supply to assess tolerance and side effects like orange stool. If you're continuing treatment or confident about proceeding, 8 or 12-week packs offer significant savings. The 12-week supply provides the best value per capsule and ensures continuous treatment without reordering. All pack sizes require online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers before dispensing from our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
