Orlistat Prescription Dosage - How It Works
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medicine that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you eat. The standard orlistat prescription dosage is one 120mg capsule taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. This lipase inhibitor acts locally in your digestive system, preventing fat absorption and allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. Orlistat may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same prescription dosage. The clinical effect is equivalent - the key difference is cost. Our generic orlistat 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10), saving you approximately £9 per month. Both require the same online clinical assessment and are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Complete Your Online Clinical Assessment
Getting your orlistat prescription is straightforward through our regulated online service. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your BMI, weight management goals, and current health status. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews every consultation to determine if the standard orlistat prescription dosage is clinically appropriate for you. Treatment may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

For longer-term treatment, choose 168 capsules for 8 weeks at £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10) or 252 capsules for 12 weeks at £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10). Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order.
Important Orlistat Prescription Dosage Guidelines
Take one orlistat 120mg capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal containing fat. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules daily. Keep your daily fat intake to approximately 30% of total calories, spread evenly across three meals. This helps maximise effectiveness and minimise gastrointestinal side effects. Most patients find side effects reduce significantly when following a lower-fat diet consistently.
