Orlistat Dosage: How It Works for Weight Management
Orlistat 120mg capsules are taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. The standard orlistat dosage works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help support weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Prescription Options and Pricing
EverydayMeds offers both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Generic orlistat provides excellent value: 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £29.69 with code EDM10, compared to Xenical at £38.69 with EDM10. Our Alli 60mg option (lower strength) is also available at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. All prices include the prescription consultation.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability for orlistat through a comprehensive online consultation. Adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, may be suitable for treatment. The prescriber reviews your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals before deciding if orlistat is appropriate for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
Following the correct orlistat dosage schedule is essential for effectiveness. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal up to three times daily. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Most patients experience the best results when keeping meals to approximately 15g of fat each to minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising weight management benefits.
