How Orlistat Duration Works - Get Your Prescription
Orlistat Duration of Action Explained
Orlistat's duration of action is meal-specific, working locally in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Each 120mg capsule remains active for the duration of that meal's digestion, typically 2-3 hours. This targeted action means orlistat doesn't build up in your system - it works dose by dose, meal by meal. Understanding this helps you use orlistat effectively as part of your weight management programme.
Online Prescription Process for Orlistat
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our clinical questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your information and issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. Choose from generic orlistat 120mg (4 weeks £29.69 with EDM10) or branded Xenical (4 weeks £38.69 with EDM10) - both contain identical active ingredients with the same clinical effect.
Maximising Orlistat's Duration Benefits
To optimise orlistat's meal-by-meal action, take one capsule with each main meal containing fat - up to three times daily. Skip doses if meals contain no fat or are missed entirely. Keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each minimises side effects while allowing orlistat to work effectively. Our prescribers provide detailed guidance on using orlistat alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat vs Alli Duration
Prescription orlistat 120mg provides stronger fat-blocking action per dose compared to Alli 60mg. While both work meal-by-meal, the higher prescription dose blocks more dietary fat during each meal's digestion period. Our prescribers can advise whether prescription-strength orlistat or lower-dose Alli suits your weight management goals better.
