How Our Online Prescription Process Works
Complete Your Online Clinical Assessment
Our online prescription process begins with a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. This clinical assessment is reviewed by qualified UK-licensed prescribers who determine whether orlistat capsules are suitable for your individual circumstances. The assessment takes just a few minutes to complete and replaces the need for a face-to-face GP appointment.
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical 120mg - Same Effect, Different Price
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, providing clinically equivalent effects. Generic orlistat offers significant savings - 4 weeks costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Many patients choose generic orlistat for the cost advantage, while others prefer the branded Xenical option. Both require prescription following clinical assessment.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Orlistat 120mg capsules are available in multiple supply lengths: 2 weeks (42 capsules) for £15.20, 4 weeks (84 capsules) for £29.69, 8 weeks (168 capsules) for £57.59, and 12 weeks (252 capsules) for £86.39 with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg pricing starts from £19.35 for 2 weeks. All prices include the online prescription consultation - no additional fees for prescriber review or clinical assessment.
How Orlistat Works
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes that break down fat, so unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Licensed UK Prescriber Review
Following submission of your health assessment, a UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information to determine treatment suitability. Orlistat may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Final prescribing decisions are made by qualified healthcare professionals based on individual clinical assessment.
