How Orlistat's Daily Dose Mechanism Works
Orlistat's effectiveness lies in its precise mechanism of action. Each 120mg capsule taken three times daily targets lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat for absorption, but orlistat inhibits approximately one third of this process. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary sources.
Why the Three-Times-Daily Dosing Works
The standard orlistat daily dose of one 120mg capsule with each main meal ensures optimal fat-blocking action. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, while branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. Both contain identical active ingredients and work through the same mechanism. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each fat-containing meal.
Scientific Evidence Behind the Mechanism
Clinical studies demonstrate orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when taken as prescribed. This mechanism makes it different from appetite suppressants that act on the brain - orlistat works locally in your gut. The blocked fat is excreted naturally, which explains the gastrointestinal effects some patients experience, particularly with high-fat meals.
Maximising Results with Proper Dosing
Understanding how orlistat works helps you optimise results. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise side effects while maintaining effectiveness. Our 8-week supply (168 capsules) costs £57.59 with EDM10, providing excellent value for sustained treatment. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose.
Prescription Strengths Available
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg require prescription following online clinical assessment. Both work through identical mechanisms but Xenical costs approximately £9 more per month. For those preferring lower strength, Alli 60mg provides the same mechanism at half the dose. All options are available through our regulated online service.
