How to Take Orlistat 120mg Capsules Correctly
Orlistat 120mg should be taken as 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 meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. This dosing schedule applies to both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way.

Timing Your Doses for Best Results
Take orlistat with breakfast, lunch, and dinner - the three main meals of your day. The medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, so it must be taken when you eat fat-containing foods. Space your doses evenly throughout the day. If you forget a dose and more than one hour has passed since your meal, skip that dose and continue with your normal schedule. Never take more than three capsules in one day.
Diet Requirements While Taking Orlistat
Keep each meal to approximately 15g of fat or less to minimise side effects. Your daily fat intake should represent no more than 30% of your total calories, spread evenly across three main meals. High-fat meals significantly increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. A reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet is essential - orlistat supports weight management alongside dietary changes, not instead of them.

Vitamin Supplementation Guidance
Take a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime while using orlistat 120mg. This should be taken at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose. Orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), so supplementation helps maintain adequate vitamin levels during treatment. Continue this routine throughout your orlistat course.
