Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size - 2 to 12 Week Supply
How Orlistat Tablets Work in Your Body
Orlistat tablets work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication acts locally in your gut rather than being absorbed into your bloodstream, making it different from appetite suppressants that work on the brain.
Pack Size Options for Every Treatment Plan
EverydayMeds offers flexible pack sizes to match your prescribed treatment duration. Our orlistat 120mg generic starts from £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with EDM10, extending to £86.39 for a full 12-week supply (252 capsules). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect, priced from £19.35 for 2 weeks up to £116.09 for 12 weeks. Lower-strength Alli 60mg offers 4-week packs from £26.09, with 12-week supplies at £116.99.
Choosing Between 2, 4, 8 or 12 Week Supplies
Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate pack size based on your individual treatment plan. Many patients start with a 4-week supply to assess tolerance and effectiveness before progressing to longer supplies. The 8-week and 12-week packs offer better value per capsule, with the 12-week orlistat supply saving over £15 compared to buying three separate 4-week packs. Use code EDM10 at checkout for 10% off any pack size.
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same strength, providing equivalent clinical effects. The key difference lies in cost - generic orlistat offers savings of approximately £30 on a 12-week supply compared to Xenical, whilst delivering the same fat-blocking mechanism. Your choice may depend on personal preference and budget considerations during your weight management programme.
Lower-Strength Alli 60mg Option
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat but typically causing milder gastrointestinal side effects. Available in 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week supplies, Alli may suit those preferring a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment. The 12-week Alli supply costs £116.99 with EDM10, positioning it between generic orlistat and branded Xenical pricing.
Clinical Assessment and Prescription Process
All orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg purchases require completion of our online health questionnaire, reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber. This clinical assessment determines treatment suitability based on your BMI, medical history, and current medications. Once approved, your chosen pack size is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with next day delivery across the UK. The prescription is included in your purchase price, eliminating the need for separate GP appointments.
