Understanding Your Daily Orlistat Dose Options
Orlistat is taken as one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. For prescription-strength orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg, you'll take one 120mg capsule with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This daily routine of three capsules provides the clinically studied dose that may help support weight management by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli 60mg follows the same three-times-daily schedule but at half the prescription strength.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Best Value Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers prescription-strength weight loss support at the most economical price point. Starting from just £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10, it provides the same clinical benefits as branded alternatives. Our 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £86.39 with EDM10 discount - ideal for committed weight management programmes. Each capsule contains 120mg of orlistat, the clinically studied dose that works alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Prescription Option
Xenical is the original branded version of orlistat 120mg, manufactured by Roche. It contains exactly the same active ingredient and dose as generic orlistat, working identically to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Some patients prefer the branded option, available from £19.35 for 42 capsules or £116.09 for a 12-week course with EDM10. Your UK prescriber will help determine whether generic orlistat or branded Xenical suits your preferences and budget.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli provides orlistat at 60mg per capsule - half the prescription strength but following the same three-times-daily dosing schedule. This lower-strength option may be suitable for those preferring a gentler introduction to orlistat treatment, with typically milder gastrointestinal effects. Available from £26.09 for a 4-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10, Alli offers another pathway to weight loss support through our regulated online consultation process.
Your Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription couldn't be simpler. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues your prescription. We then dispense your chosen orlistat treatment through our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy, with discreet next-day delivery included. No separate GP appointment required - everything is handled through our regulated online service.
Maximising Your Treatment Success
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. Keep your daily fat intake to approximately 30% of total calories, spread evenly across three main meals (roughly 15g fat per meal). This approach minimises gastrointestinal side effects whilst allowing orlistat to work effectively. Consider taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Your prescriber can provide personalised guidance during your consultation.
