Choose Your Orlistat Pack Size for Optimal Treatment
When to Take Orlistat: Timing with Meals
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, making meal timing essential. Take one 120mg capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal containing fat. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. This means most people take orlistat three times daily with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Perfect for trying orlistat for the first time, our 2-week supply contains 42 capsules. Generic orlistat costs £16.89 (£15.20 with EDM10), whilst branded Xenical is £21.50 (£19.35 with EDM10). This shorter supply allows you to assess tolerability before committing to longer treatment courses.

For committed weight management programmes, our 8-week supply offers better value per capsule. Generic orlistat costs £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £86.99 (£78.29 with EDM10).
