Choose Your Orlistat Dosage and Treatment Duration
Understanding Orlistat Dosage for Weight Loss
The standard orlistat dosage for prescription weight loss is 120mg taken three times daily with main meals containing fat. Each capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. This proven dosage blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical vs Alli: Dosage Options
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, offering clinically equivalent effects. Our 4-week supply costs £32.99 for generic orlistat compared to £42.99 for Xenical - save approximately £9 monthly choosing generic. Alli 60mg provides half the prescription dose for those preferring lower-strength treatment. All options require the same three-times-daily dosing schedule with meals.

How to Take Your Orlistat Dosage Correctly
Take one 120mg capsule with each of your three main daily meals. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can omit that dose. Never exceed three capsules daily. For optimal results and minimal side effects, keep each meal under 15g fat content. This dosing schedule maximises orlistat's fat-blocking action whilst supporting your weight management goals through consistent daily routine.
