Safe Orlistat Dosing for Effective Weight Management
Why You Should Never Take 2 Orlistat Capsules at Once
Taking 2 orlistat capsules simultaneously is not recommended and will not improve weight loss results. Orlistat 120mg is precisely dosed to block approximately one third of dietary fat when taken as one capsule with each main meal. Doubling the dose can significantly increase gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, urgent bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort without providing additional clinical benefit.
Correct Orlistat Dosing Schedule
The approved dosing for orlistat 120mg is one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. Our orlistat 120mg is available from £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), or £29.69 with code EDM10.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Strength, Different Price
Both orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical but at a lower cost. Compare our prices: orlistat 120mg 84 capsules costs £32.99 versus Xenical 120mg 84 capsules at £42.99. Both require the same dosing schedule and provide equivalent weight management support when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Managing Side Effects Through Proper Dosing
Orlistat's gastrointestinal side effects are directly related to dietary fat intake and dose timing. Taking the medication exactly as prescribed - one capsule per meal, maximum three daily - helps minimise side effects. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to reduce the likelihood of oily stools and other gut-related effects. Never exceed the recommended dose thinking it will accelerate weight loss.
