Orlistat Timing Guide + Ongoing Savings
When Should Orlistat Be Taken?
Orlistat 120mg should be taken three times daily - one capsule with each main meal that contains fat. Take each capsule immediately before your meal, during eating, or up to one hour after finishing your meal. If you skip a meal or eat something with no fat content, you can skip that dose. The maximum is three capsules per day, spaced across breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Timing For Maximum Effectiveness
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut. Taking it with fat-containing meals ensures the medicine is present when fat digestion occurs. Don't take orlistat with fat-free meals - there's no benefit and you'll waste a capsule. If you forget a dose, don't double up - just continue with your next scheduled dose.

Clinical Assessment Required
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI details. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. The prescription is included in your order price - no separate GP appointment needed.
