How to Take Orlistat: Before, During or After Meals
Private Prescription Orlistat - Skip NHS Delays
Getting orlistat through the NHS often involves lengthy GP appointments and waiting lists. Our private prescription service provides faster access to orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical, and Alli 60mg through qualified UK-licensed prescribers. Complete an online clinical assessment today and receive your medication tomorrow - no GP appointment required.
When to Take Orlistat With Meals
Take one orlistat capsule with each main meal containing fat. You can take it immediately before eating, during your meal, or up to one hour after finishing. If you skip a meal or eat something with no fat, you can skip that dose. This timing ensures orlistat works effectively to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Keep meals low in fat (around 15g per meal) to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical - Same Clinical Effect
Both contain identical orlistat 120mg doses and work the same way. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Choose generic orlistat for better value or Xenical if you prefer the branded option. Both require the same private prescription process through our UK-licensed prescribers.
Alli 60mg - Lower Dose Option
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat at 60mg per capsule. Take one capsule three times daily with fat-containing meals. Alli 84 capsules cost £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10) for an 8-week supply. Lower dose typically means milder side effects while still supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Fast Private Prescription Process
Our streamlined process gets you treated faster than NHS routes. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within 24 hours and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your orlistat is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered next-day across the UK.
