Specializes in Clinical Lipidology

Not all once daily: Atorvastatin should be taken once daily. Orlistat 120 mg is usually dosed three times a day with each main meal containing fat. The dose may be taken during the meal or within 1 hour of completing the meal. Check with your physician for details regarding your recommendations.
