How Many Orlistat Capsules Per Day?

The standard orlistat dosage is one 120mg capsule three times daily, taken with each main meal that contains fat. This means 21 capsules per week or 84 capsules for a 4-week supply. You should take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules per day.

Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli—Which Strength?

All three options work by blocking dietary fat absorption, but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg (£29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10) and Xenical 120mg (£38.69 with EDM10) contain identical active ingredients—the main difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers excellent value while Xenical is the original branded version. Alli 60mg (£26.09 with EDM10) provides half the prescription strength, suitable for those preferring a lower-dose starting point.

How Prescription Orlistat Supports Weight Loss

Orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. The medication works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet (around 15g fat per meal) and increased physical activity. This approach may help support sustainable weight management alongside lifestyle changes.

Clinical Assessment & Online Prescription Process

Orlistat 120mg and Xenical require prescription following clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and BMI to determine suitability. The medication may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Complete our online consultation today—if approved, your prescription orlistat will be dispensed and dispatched for next-day delivery.

Managing Side Effects With Proper Dosing

Most orlistat side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Taking three capsules daily as prescribed, while keeping meals low in fat, significantly reduces the likelihood of oily stools, urgency, or abdominal discomfort. These effects indicate the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime (2+ hours after your last orlistat dose) helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels.
