Private Prescription: Faster Access to Weight Loss Treatment
Does Alli Weight Loss Actually Work?
Alli contains orlistat 60mg, which works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your gut. When you eat a meal containing fat, Alli prevents some of this fat from being digested, so it passes naturally through your body. This mechanism can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
The key difference with private prescription is speed of access. Rather than waiting for NHS appointments, you can complete an online consultation today and receive your treatment tomorrow.
Private Prescription vs NHS: Why Choose EverydayMeds?
The NHS weight loss service has long waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service offers the same clinical-strength treatments without the delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability through a comprehensive online consultation, reviewing your BMI, medical history, and weight management goals.
Available treatments include Alli 60mg (4 weeks £28.99, now £26.09 with EDM10), prescription-strength Orlistat 120mg (4 weeks £32.99, now £29.69 with EDM10), and branded Xenical 120mg (4 weeks £42.99, now £38.69 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths.
How Orlistat-Based Treatments Support Weight Loss
Orlistat works as a lipase inhibitor, targeting enzymes in your digestive system that break down dietary fats. By blocking these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be absorbed and is naturally eliminated from your body. This reduces the calories absorbed from fatty foods, supporting your weight management efforts.
Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option, whilst prescription Orlistat 120mg offers double the dose for potentially greater fat-blocking effects. Both work best when you keep your daily fat intake to around 30% of total calories, spread across three main meals.
Online Consultation Process
Our streamlined process eliminates NHS waiting times. Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your weight history, current medications, and health conditions. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether treatment is clinically appropriate for you.
Once approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next-day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate GP fees or additional costs.
Treatment Options and Pricing
We stock three orlistat-based options. Alli 60mg provides 42 capsules lasting 4 weeks at £28.99 (£26.09 with EDM10). Generic Orlistat 120mg offers better value with 84 capsules for 4 weeks at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10).
All treatments require taking one capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Most patients see the best results when combining treatment with a structured diet plan keeping fat intake to approximately 15g per meal.
