Taking Orlistat on an Empty Stomach - Key Facts

Orlistat should not be taken on an empty stomach as it works by blocking lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. Without fat present from food, the medication has nothing to act upon and may not provide its intended weight management benefits. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal containing fat. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose of orlistat.

How Orlistat Works with Food

This prescription weight loss medicine acts locally in your digestive system to block approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. For optimal results, orlistat must be taken alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with no more than 30% of daily calories from fat. Higher fat meals increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects.

Orlistat Pricing and Options

Our prescription orlistat 120mg starts from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules), reduced to £15.20 with discount code EDM10. The 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £95.99, or £86.39 with EDM10 - saving you over £9. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient, starting from £21.50. For those preferring lower strength, Alli 60mg is available from £28.99. All prices include the prescription following successful clinical assessment.

Clinical Assessment Process

Orlistat 120mg and Xenical require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.

Treatment suitability depends on individual health circumstances and is determined through clinical assessment.
