How to Take Orlistat 120mg for Best Results
Optimal Timing for Orlistat 120mg
Take one orlistat 120mg capsule with each main meal that contains fat. The best time is immediately before eating, during your meal, or up to one hour after finishing. This timing ensures the medication can block approximately one third of the dietary fat from being absorbed. If you skip a meal or eat something with no fat, you can skip that dose entirely.

Meal Planning with Orlistat
Keep each meal to approximately 15g fat or less to minimise side effects. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. High-fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. Take a multivitamin at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) as the medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Orlistat vs Xenical Pricing
Choose generic orlistat 120mg for the best value, or opt for branded Xenical if you prefer. Both contain identical active ingredients. Generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10, while Xenical costs £38.69 with discount. Both require prescription following online clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
