Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size: Complete Price Guide
Understanding Orlistat Pack Sizes and Treatment Duration
When starting orlistat treatment, choosing the right pack size depends on your treatment goals and budget. Each orlistat 120mg capsule is taken three times daily with main meals, meaning you'll use approximately 21 capsules per week. Our pack sizes are designed around this dosing schedule, offering 2-week starter packs through to cost-effective 12-week supplies. Many patients find that side effects like headaches typically occur during the first few weeks as your body adapts to the medication, making shorter initial packs a sensible choice.
Orlistat 120mg Generic - Best Value Pack Sizes
Our generic orlistat 120mg offers identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at significantly lower prices. The 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs just £15.20 with EDM10, perfect for first-time users wanting to assess tolerance. Our most popular 4-week pack (84 capsules) provides excellent value at £29.69, while the 12-week supply (252 capsules) delivers maximum savings at £86.39 with EDM10 - saving you £9.60 compared to the regular price.
Xenical 120mg Branded - Premium Pack Options
Xenical contains the same 120mg orlistat dose as generic versions but carries the Roche brand guarantee. Pack sizes mirror our generic options: 2-week supplies from £19.35 with EDM10, 4-week packs at £38.69, and 12-week supplies at £116.09. While branded Xenical costs approximately £30 more per 12-week course than generic orlistat, some patients prefer the branded option for peace of mind.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Pack Sizes
Alli 60mg offers half the strength of prescription orlistat, potentially reducing side effects including headaches. Available in 4-week (42 capsules), 8-week (84 capsules), and 12-week (252 capsules) packs, with prices starting at £26.09 for the 4-week supply with EDM10. The lower dose may be suitable for patients concerned about gastrointestinal side effects or those preferring a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment.
Managing Headaches and Side Effects with Smart Pack Selection
Headaches can occur when starting orlistat, often during the first 1-2 weeks as your body adjusts. Starting with a 2-week pack allows you to monitor your response without significant financial commitment. If headaches persist beyond the initial adjustment period, consult your prescriber. Most patients find side effects, including headaches, diminish once they establish a consistent low-fat diet routine.
Pack Size Savings Calculator
Longer packs offer substantial savings: choosing a 12-week generic orlistat supply instead of six 2-week packs saves you over £25. With EDM10, your 12-week supply costs £86.39 versus £91.20 for six individual 2-week packs. However, if you're new to orlistat or concerned about side effects like headaches, starting with shorter packs provides flexibility to adjust your treatment approach.
