Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - 2 to 12 Week Supply
How Orlistat Works on Fat - The Science Explained
Orlistat doesn't work on existing fat stored in your body. Instead, it works in your digestive system by blocking lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat from meals. When you take orlistat 120mg with food, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and passes naturally through your body. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Pack Sizes Available - Find Your Perfect Supply
We stock orlistat in multiple pack sizes to suit different treatment plans. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value: 2-week supply (42 capsules) £15.20 with EDM10, 4-week supply (84 capsules) £29.69, 8-week supply (168 capsules) £57.59, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) £86.39. Branded Xenical 120mg costs slightly more but contains identical active ingredient: 2-week £19.35, 4-week £38.69, 8-week £78.29, 12-week £116.09 with EDM10 discount.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Option
Alli contains half the dose of prescription orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Available in 4-week supply (42 capsules) £26.09, 8-week supply (84 capsules) £49.49, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) £116.99 with EDM10. While lower strength means typically milder side effects, it also blocks less dietary fat compared to prescription-strength 120mg versions.
Maximise Savings with Longer Supplies
Twelve-week supplies offer the best value per capsule. Generic orlistat 12-week pack saves £9.60 compared to buying six 2-week packs, plus you get 10% off with code EDM10. Longer supplies also mean fewer orders and consistent treatment without interruption. Your prescriber will advise the most appropriate supply length based on your individual treatment plan.
Order Process - Simple Online Consultation
Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. All orlistat 120mg and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment. Your chosen pack size is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with next-day delivery across the UK.
Taking Orlistat Correctly
Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or one 60mg Alli capsule with meals. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. Each pack contains clear dosing instructions. Remember that orlistat works best alongside a lower-fat diet - aim for no more than 15g fat per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medicine's effectiveness.
