When to Take Orlistat - Optimal Timing Guide
Orlistat 120mg capsules (including branded Xenical) work most effectively when taken at the right time with your meals. Take one capsule with each main meal containing fat - this can be immediately before eating, during your meal, or up to one hour after finishing. If you skip a meal or eat something with no fat content, you can miss that dose. Never exceed three capsules per day.
Online Prescription Process - Simple and Secure
Our streamlined prescription service removes barriers to accessing orlistat treatment. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. The entire process typically takes 24 hours, with medication dispatched from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Choose Your Preferred Option
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effects. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. Both require the same timing - one capsule with each fat-containing meal, working by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.

Maximising Treatment Success
Taking orlistat at the correct times alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet significantly improves outcomes and reduces gastrointestinal side effects. Limit each meal to approximately 15g of fat and spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. This timing strategy helps ensure the medication works effectively whilst minimising side effects like oily stools or abdominal discomfort.
