Complete Orlistat Instructions for Safe Weight Loss
How to Take Orlistat 120mg - Essential Instructions
Orlistat 120mg capsules should be taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules per day. Our prescription orlistat costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10.
Diet Instructions While Taking Orlistat
Follow a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet with no more than 30% calories from fat. Keep each meal to approximately 15g fat to minimise side effects. Orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, so lower-fat meals work best. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals for optimal results and comfort.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Instructions, Different Prices
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients with the same instructions. Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 (4 weeks), while generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect for £32.99. Both require the same dosing schedule and dietary approach. Choose based on preference and budget - both are equally effective when instructions are followed correctly.
What to Expect When Following Orlistat Instructions
When taking orlistat as instructed, you may experience gastrointestinal effects, particularly if dietary fat intake exceeds recommendations. These effects indicate the medication is working by blocking fat absorption. Side effects typically reduce when you follow the low-fat diet instructions. Most patients find effects manageable by keeping to the 15g fat per meal guideline.
Vitamin Instructions for Orlistat Users
Take a daily multivitamin supplement containing fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Take your vitamin at bedtime, at least two hours after your last orlistat dose. This prevents any interaction while ensuring adequate vitamin absorption. Continue vitamin supplementation throughout your orlistat treatment period.
