Complete Dosing Instructions For Each Strength
Generic orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg: Take one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating.

Alli 60mg provides half-strength dosing with the same timing schedule. Our 84-capsule packs (£49.49 with EDM10) supply eight weeks of treatment with typically milder gastrointestinal effects due to the lower dose.
How Orlistat Works - Essential Usage Knowledge
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes locally in the gut, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. This mechanism requires specific dietary considerations to maximise effectiveness and minimise side effects.
Keep fat intake to approximately 15g per meal (roughly 30% of daily calories from fat) to reduce gastrointestinal side effects significantly. High-fat meals increase the likelihood of oily stools, urgency, and anal leakage. Our prescribers provide detailed dietary guidance with every prescription.

Essential Safety Instructions
Take a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) as the medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. If you miss a meal or eat a meal containing no fat, skip that dose of orlistat.
Monitor for side effects including oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and urgent need to open bowels. These effects indicate the medication is working but can be minimised through proper dietary fat management. Contact our pharmacy team for ongoing support and guidance throughout your treatment.
