Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss?
Private vs NHS Route: Skip the Wait
While Alli and prescription orlistat are available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting lists and limited GP appointments. Our private prescription service offers the same clinically regulated medication with faster access. Following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, suitable patients can receive their weight loss medication within 24 hours. All medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your door.
Alli 60mg vs Prescription Orlistat 120mg
We offer three weight loss options: Alli 60mg (£26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10), generic orlistat 120mg (£15.20 for 2 weeks with EDM10), and branded Xenical 120mg (£19.35 for 2 weeks with EDM10). Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, making it a lower-strength option. All three products work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual circumstances.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our secure online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and assesses whether Alli or prescription orlistat is appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is issued and sent to our pharmacy team for dispensing. Your medication is then dispatched with tracked, next-day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery, significantly faster than NHS routes.
Professional Clinical Assessment
Every prescription requires clinical approval from our qualified healthcare professionals. Orlistat-based treatments may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber will assess your suitability based on your individual health circumstances. All treatments must be used alongside a structured weight management programme including dietary changes and increased physical activity.
