Orlistat Daily Dosing Guide & UK Prices
How Many Orlistat Capsules Per Day?
Orlistat 120mg requires exactly three capsules daily - one with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can omit that dose. Never exceed three capsules in 24 hours. This dosing schedule means 84 capsules provides a 4-week supply at £32.99, or £29.69 with discount code EDM10.
UK Prescription Orlistat Options & Pricing
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £29.69 monthly with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient at £38.69 monthly with discount. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. For those preferring lower strength, Alli 60mg provides half-dose option at £26.09 for 4-week supply. All options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Calculating Your Orlistat Supply Needs
Three capsules daily equals 21 capsules weekly. Our pack sizes accommodate different treatment durations: 42 capsules (2 weeks) from £15.20, 84 capsules (4 weeks) from £29.69, 168 capsules (8 weeks) from £57.59, and 252 capsules (12 weeks) from £86.39 with EDM10. Longer supplies offer better value per capsule whilst ensuring consistent treatment.
Taking Orlistat Correctly for Weight Management
Orlistat works best when meals contain no more than 15g fat each. The medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the digestive system. High-fat meals increase gastrointestinal side effects significantly. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime helps replace fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow your prescriber's guidance alongside structured dietary changes.
