Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size: 2-12 Week Supply Options
Orlistat Pack Sizes for Patients Without Gallbladder
Following removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), some patients may still be suitable for orlistat treatment. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks flexible pack sizes to accommodate different treatment durations. Generic orlistat 120mg is available in 2-week (42 capsules, £16.89), 4-week (84 capsules, £32.99), 8-week (168 capsules, £63.99), and 12-week (252 capsules, £95.99) supplies. All prices reduce by 10% with code EDM10.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat Pack Options
Branded Xenical contains the same 120mg orlistat dose but costs more than generic alternatives. Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) compared to generic orlistat at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Both work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Choose based on your preference and budget - clinical effects remain the same across all orlistat 120mg formulations.
Treatment Duration Planning
Most prescribers recommend starting with shorter supplies like 4-week packs to assess tolerance, particularly for patients without gallbladder who may have altered fat digestion. Our 2-week starter pack (42 capsules) allows initial assessment at £16.89. Longer supplies offer better value - our 12-week pack provides significant savings versus monthly ordering. Your prescriber will advise on appropriate treatment duration during clinical assessment.
Special Considerations Without Gallbladder
Patients without gallbladder may experience different fat digestion patterns, potentially affecting orlistat's side effect profile. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your medical history including gallbladder removal before prescribing. Some patients find lower-fat diets easier to maintain post-cholecystectomy, which may actually reduce orlistat's gastrointestinal effects. Complete our online assessment to determine suitability.
Order Process and Delivery
Complete our online clinical questionnaire detailing your medical history including gallbladder surgery. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and prescribes appropriate pack sizes where suitable. Choose from our 2, 4, 8, or 12-week supply options during checkout. All orders qualify for 10% discount with EDM10, and we provide next day tracked delivery across the UK from our Leicester pharmacy.
