Effective Orlistat Use: Your Complete Buying Guide
How to Take Orlistat 120mg for Maximum Effectiveness
Orlistat 120mg capsules should be taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, skip that dose. Our generic orlistat costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4 weeks) or £29.69 with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) for the same supply.
Diet Guidelines While Using Orlistat
For orlistat to work effectively, maintain a reduced-calorie diet with no more than 30% of daily calories from fat. Spread fat intake evenly across three main meals (approximately 15g fat per meal). High-fat meals significantly increase gastrointestinal side effects. This dietary approach maximises orlistat's fat-blocking mechanism whilst minimising uncomfortable side effects.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli
All three products contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg (generic) offers the most cost-effective option at £63.99 for 8 weeks (£57.59 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect but costs £86.99 for 8 weeks (£78.29 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers half the prescription strength at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10), making it suitable for those preferring a gentler starting approach.
Timeline and Supply Options
Our orlistat supply options include 2-week starter packs (42 capsules) from £16.89, 4-week supplies (84 capsules) from £32.99, 8-week supplies (168 capsules) from £63.99, and 12-week courses (252 capsules) from £95.99. All prices reduce by 10% with code EDM10. Longer supplies offer better value per capsule and reduce reordering frequency.
Professional Prescriber Assessment Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines suitability for orlistat treatment. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from application to delivery.
Maximising Treatment Success
Combine orlistat with regular physical activity and behavioural support for optimal results. Take a daily multivitamin supplement at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) to prevent deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Monitor your progress and maintain regular contact with healthcare professionals throughout treatment.
