Orlistat Dosing Made Simple - Order Online Today
Standard Orlistat Dosing: Three Capsules Daily
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you skip a meal or eat something fat-free, you can skip that dose. This dosing applies whether you choose generic orlistat at £29.69 for 4 weeks or branded Xenical at £38.69 for 4 weeks (both with EDM10 discount).
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Alternative
Alli 60mg follows the same three-times-daily schedule but contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat. At £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10, Alli provides a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment with typically milder gastrointestinal effects.
Why Three Times Daily Works
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. Taking it with each main meal ensures the medication is present when your body processes fat from food. This timing maximises orlistat's effectiveness as part of your weight management programme alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Pack Sizes and Supply Duration
With three capsules daily, your orlistat supply lasts as follows: 42 capsules = 2 weeks (from £15.20), 84 capsules = 4 weeks (from £29.69), 168 capsules = 8 weeks (from £57.59), 252 capsules = 12 weeks (from £86.39). All prices include 10% EDM10 discount.
Dietary Guidelines While Taking Orlistat
Keep each meal to approximately 15g fat or less to minimise side effects. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three meals rather than having one high-fat meal. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime (2 hours after your last orlistat dose) helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels.
