Order Orlistat Online UK - Clinical Assessment Required
Maximum Daily Dose of Orlistat Explained
The maximum daily dose of orlistat is three 120mg capsules per day, taken with each main meal containing fat. This prescription weight loss medication works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Each capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after meals. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules in 24 hours.

How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat may help support weight loss by reducing the amount of dietary fat your body absorbs. This prescription medication works locally in your gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down fat. Approximately one third of the fat you consume passes through your system unabsorbed. Orlistat works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Individual responses vary, and long-term success depends on continued lifestyle changes.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat Comparison
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The clinical effect is equivalent—the main difference is cost. Our generic orlistat saves approximately £9 monthly compared to branded Xenical. A 4-week Xenical supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), while generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer branded options, whilst others choose generic orlistat for value.

Important Safety Information
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. These effects can be minimised by keeping fat intake low—approximately 15g per meal. A daily multivitamin is recommended as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Always follow your prescriber's guidance and report persistent or severe side effects to a healthcare professional.
