How to Take Orlistat Tablets for Best Results
When to Take Orlistat 120mg Capsules
Take one orlistat 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. The optimal timing is immediately before, during, or within one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. This precise timing ensures orlistat works effectively in your digestive system to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Orlistat Prescription Prices at EverydayMeds
Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £16.89 for 42 capsules (2-week supply), reduced to £15.20 with code EDM10. Our 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), while 12-week supplies are £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg is also available from £21.50 per fortnight. All prices include your private prescription following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers.
Daily Dosing Schedule for Weight Management
Plan your orlistat dosing around three main meals daily. Take one capsule with breakfast, lunch and dinner when these meals contain fat. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across meals, keeping each meal to approximately 15g fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. This structured approach can support your weight management goals alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Online Prescription Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. We dispense and dispatch from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next-day delivery available. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical and Alli
Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients but generic orlistat offers significant savings. Four-week supplies cost £29.69 (orlistat) versus £38.69 (Xenical) with EDM10. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at half the prescription dose. Your prescriber can advise which option may be most suitable following clinical assessment.
