How Long Should You Take Orlistat? Get Your Prescription
Understanding Orlistat Treatment Duration
Orlistat treatment duration depends on individual response and clinical assessment by a qualified UK prescriber. Typically, treatment is prescribed for 12-24 weeks initially, with regular review to assess effectiveness and suitability for continued treatment. Our online prescription service makes accessing orlistat straightforward - complete the consultation, receive prescriber review, and get your medication delivered discreetly.

The Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our clinical assessment questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery.
Monitoring During Extended Treatment
For treatment durations beyond 12 weeks, ongoing clinical monitoring ensures orlistat remains appropriate for your circumstances. Our prescribers assess your progress and may recommend continued treatment if you're responding well and experiencing no concerning side effects. Treatment can typically continue for up to 2 years under medical supervision.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli
All three options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only and clinically equivalent - the main difference is cost, with generic orlistat offering significant savings. Alli 60mg is half the prescription dose, suitable for those preferring a lower-strength option. Your prescriber will help determine the most appropriate choice for your treatment duration.
