Choose Your Ideal Orlistat Supply Length
Understanding Orlistat Risks Across Different Supply Lengths
When considering orlistat treatment, selecting the appropriate supply length helps manage both risks and costs effectively. Our 2-week starter packs (42 capsules at £15.20 with EDM10) allow you to assess tolerance to gastrointestinal effects before committing to longer treatments. Most side effects, including oily stools and increased bowel frequency, are most pronounced during initial weeks as your body adjusts to reduced fat absorption.
2-Week Supply: Ideal Risk Assessment Period
The 2-week supply offers the perfect introduction to orlistat therapy. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical is £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This timeframe allows you to evaluate side effect tolerance whilst following a lower-fat diet. Most patients experience the strongest gastrointestinal effects during these initial weeks, making this an essential trial period before progressing to longer supplies.
4-Week Supply: Building Treatment Confidence
Our 4-week packs (84 capsules) provide extended assessment whilst offering better value. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), saving £0.71 compared to two 2-week packs. Xenical 4-week supply is £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). This duration typically allows side effects to stabilise as dietary habits adapt, providing clearer insight into long-term treatment suitability.
8-Week Supply: Optimal Risk-Value Balance
The 8-week supply (168 capsules) represents excellent value whilst maintaining manageable risk exposure. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), delivering significant savings of £6.19 compared to four 2-week packs. Xenical 8-week supply is £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10). This duration allows full adaptation to treatment whilst providing substantial cost benefits for established users.
12-Week Supply: Maximum Savings for Established Users
Our 12-week supply (252 capsules) offers maximum value for patients who have successfully established tolerance. Generic orlistat costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10), saving £9.60 compared to six 2-week packs. Xenical 12-week supply is £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10). This option suits experienced users confident in their side effect management and dietary compliance.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Dose Alternative Across Supply Lengths
Alli 60mg offers a gentler introduction with reduced side effect risks. Available in 4-week (£28.99, £26.09 with EDM10), 8-week (£54.99, £49.49 with EDM10), and 12-week supplies (£129.99, £116.99 with EDM10). The lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal effects whilst still supporting weight management alongside dietary changes.
