Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss?
Private vs NHS Route: Faster Access to Treatment
While Alli and prescription orlistat are available through the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. NHS weight loss services often have lengthy waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service provides immediate access following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. You can complete your consultation today and receive your medication tomorrow - no GP appointment required.
Alli 60mg: Lower-Strength Weight Loss Support
Alli contains half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat, offering a gentler introduction to weight loss medication. At 60mg per capsule, Alli blocks approximately one third of dietary fat when taken with meals. Our pricing starts at £28.99 for 4 weeks (84 capsules), or £26.09 with discount code EDM10. For 8-week treatment, choose 168 capsules at £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10). Extended 12-week courses cost £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10).
Prescription-Strength Alternatives Available
For those requiring stronger treatment, we offer prescription-only Orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg following clinical assessment. Generic Orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and clinical effects - the key difference is cost.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Orders placed before 3pm qualify for next day delivery with tracked, discreet packaging.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Our prescribers assess suitability based on BMI, medical history, and individual circumstances. Alli may be appropriate for adults with BMI 28 or above, particularly when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Treatment works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through the body. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal).
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Private prescription includes ongoing prescriber support throughout your treatment. We recommend regular progress monitoring and dietary guidance to optimise results. All patients receive comprehensive information about managing side effects, recommended multivitamin supplementation, and lifestyle modifications. Remember, orlistat works best alongside sustained dietary changes and increased physical activity.
