Correct Dosing Schedule For Maximum Effectiveness
Standard Dosing: One Capsule With Each Main Meal
Take one orlistat 120mg 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 meal without fat, skip that dose. Maximum three capsules per day - never exceed this limit.
Save 10% On Every Orlistat Order
Returning customers benefit from our EDM10 code on every single order. Generic orlistat 84-capsule supplies cost £29.69 (reduced from £32.99), while Xenical 84-capsule supplies cost £38.69 (reduced from £42.99). Longer supplies offer greater savings - 12-week orlistat supplies cost £86.39 with EDM10 (regular price £95.99).
Timing Your Doses For Best Results
Spread your three daily doses across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, so timing with meals is essential. Taking capsules more than one hour after eating reduces effectiveness significantly.
Diet Guidelines While Taking Orlistat
Keep each meal to approximately 15g fat or less to minimise side effects. Your daily fat intake should represent no more than 30% of total calories. High-fat meals increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools, urgent bowel movements and oily spotting.
What To Do If You Miss A Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember - provided it's within one hour of your last meal. If more than one hour has passed, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
Supply Calculations And Reordering
Three capsules daily means 21 capsules per week. Our 84-capsule supplies last approximately four weeks, while 168-capsule supplies last eight weeks. Set up regular reorders to maintain consistent treatment - use EDM10 every time for automatic 10% savings.
