How Many Orlistat Capsules Per Day?
The standard orlistat 120mg dosing is one capsule three times daily, taken with each main meal containing fat. This means you'll take 3 orlistat capsules per day - one immediately before, during, or up to one hour after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. For Alli 60mg, the dosing is the same - one capsule three times daily with main meals.
Buy Orlistat Online UK - Three Options Available
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy offers three orlistat products following online consultation. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £29.69 for 84 capsules (4 weeks) with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg costs £38.69 for the same supply, offering identical clinical effects. Alli 60mg at £26.09 for 42 capsules provides a lower-strength alternative. All products work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Calculate Your Supply Needs
At 3 capsules per day, you'll need 21 capsules per week. Our pack sizes are designed around this dosing schedule: 42 capsules provide 2 weeks' treatment, 84 capsules cover 4 weeks, 168 capsules last 8 weeks, and 252 capsules provide 12 weeks' supply. Most patients start with a 4-week supply to assess suitability before ordering larger quantities.
Simple Online Ordering Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues a prescription. Your chosen orlistat product is then dispensed by our Leicester-based pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Clinical Assessment Required
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment. Our prescribers evaluate your BMI, medical history, and suitability for treatment. Generally, orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Individual assessment determines eligibility - not everyone will be suitable for treatment.
Maximise Your Results
Taking orlistat correctly - one capsule three times daily with main meals - works best alongside a structured weight management plan. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while allowing the medication to work effectively. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your digestive system, so maintaining a lower-fat diet is essential for both effectiveness and comfort.
