Your Complete Guide to Using Orlistat for Weight Loss
How to Take Orlistat Correctly for Best Results
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken correctly. Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, or skip the dose if your meal contains no fat. The timing is crucial - take orlistat immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. With our EDM10 code, a 4-week supply of orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69, making effective weight management more affordable.
Optimising Your Diet While Taking Orlistat
Keep each meal to approximately 15g of fat to minimise side effects and maximise results. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, ensuring no more than 30% of daily calories come from fat. This approach helps orlistat work effectively whilst reducing gastrointestinal side effects. Our 8-week orlistat supply at £57.59 with EDM10 gives you time to establish these healthy eating patterns.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli
All three options contain orlistat but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are clinically identical - the generic version saves approximately £9 per month compared to branded Xenical. Alli 60mg offers half the prescription strength for those preferring a lower-dose option. With 10% off every order, you can try different options: 12-week orlistat supply for £86.39, Xenical for £116.09, or Alli for £116.99.
Managing Side Effects and Expectations
Most orlistat side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to fat intake. Oily stools, urgency, and increased bowel movements may occur, particularly with high-fat meals. These effects typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime helps replace fat-soluble vitamins that orlistat may reduce absorption of.
