How Many Orlistat 120mg Capsules Should You Take Daily?
Standard Orlistat 120mg Daily Dosage
The recommended dose for orlistat 120mg is one capsule taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. This means you'll typically take three capsules per day - one with breakfast, one with lunch, and one with dinner. Each capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose.

How Orlistat 120mg Works
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. It inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The effect is directly related to meal fat content - keeping fat intake low minimises gastrointestinal side effects.
