Professional Dosing Guidance from UK Pharmacy Experts
Correct Orlistat 120mg Dosing - UK Prescriber Guidelines
Orlistat 120mg should be taken as one capsule three times daily 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 meal with no fat, skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules per day. EverydayMeds supplies orlistat in convenient pack sizes: 42 capsules (2 weeks, £16.89), 84 capsules (4 weeks, £32.99), 168 capsules (8 weeks, £63.99), and 252 capsules (12 weeks, £95.99).

Why Choose EverydayMeds for Orlistat 120mg
As a GPhC-registered online pharmacy based in Leicester, EverydayMeds operates under full MHRA regulation. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough clinical assessments before issuing any prescription. We stock both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients but our generic version offers excellent value. Following your online consultation, we dispense and dispatch medication the same day where possible, with tracked delivery across the UK.
Essential Diet Guidelines While Taking Orlistat
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, so your diet directly affects both effectiveness and side effects. Keep each meal to around 15g of fat to minimise gastrointestinal effects. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals. A multivitamin supplement is recommended, taken at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical - Expert Comparison
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect. The key difference is cost - our generic orlistat offers significant savings. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option while others choose generic for value. Both require the same prescription process and clinical assessment through our regulated online service.

Our online consultation replaces the need for a GP appointment while maintaining the same clinical standards.
