Choose Your Orlistat Supply Duration
2-Week Starter Packs: Test Your Response
A 2-week supply provides an ideal starting point to assess how your body responds to orlistat whilst adapting your diet. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £15.20 with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical is £19.35. During these initial weeks, focus on keeping each meal under 15g fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Many patients find this period essential for establishing their optimal eating pattern alongside the medication.
4-Week Supply: Establish Your Routine
Four-week packs offer better value whilst allowing time to develop sustainable dietary habits. Orlistat 120mg (84 capsules) costs £29.69 with EDM10, compared to Xenical at £38.69. Alli 60mg 4-week packs are £26.09. This duration helps establish a consistent routine of taking one capsule with each main meal containing fat, whilst your body adapts to the lower-fat dietary approach essential for success.
8-Week Supply: Build Momentum
Eight-week supplies provide significant savings and support consistent treatment progress. Generic orlistat 168 capsules cost £57.59 with EDM10, offering excellent value compared to Xenical at £78.29. Alli 8-week packs are £49.49. This duration allows you to fully adapt to the dietary changes required, with most side effects typically reducing as you establish your optimal fat intake pattern.
12-Week Supply: Maximum Savings
Twelve-week supplies offer the best value for money and support sustained weight management. Orlistat 252 capsules cost just £86.39 with EDM10, whilst Xenical is £116.09. Alli 12-week packs are £116.99. Clinical studies suggest that 12 weeks provides sufficient time to establish lasting dietary habits and assess treatment effectiveness alongside your reduced-calorie eating plan.
What to Eat During Treatment
Regardless of your chosen pack size, dietary management remains crucial. Distribute your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, keeping each meal around 15g fat or less. Focus on lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. High-fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of oily stools and gastrointestinal discomfort. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime supports fat-soluble vitamin absorption.
