How to Take Orlistat: Complete Dosing Guide
Orlistat Dosing: Three Times Daily Protocol
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg require one capsule three times daily, taken with each main meal containing fat. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. This prescription fat blocker works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed.
Choose Your Orlistat Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg requires the same three-times-daily schedule at a lower dose for £28.99 per 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10). All options require assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers.
Maximising Your Treatment Success
Keep each meal to approximately 15g fat or less to minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maintaining orlistat's effectiveness. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. Take a multivitamin supplement at bedtime, at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose, as this medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
