Why Choose Private Prescription for Xenical?
Private vs NHS Route for Xenical
While Xenical is available through the NHS, many patients choose the private prescription route to avoid lengthy waiting times and complex eligibility requirements. Our private online service allows you to access Xenical following a clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, often within 24 hours of completing your consultation. This eliminates the need for GP appointments and provides a faster pathway to prescription weight loss treatment.
Xenical Pricing - Private Prescription
Xenical 120mg capsules are available in multiple pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. A 2-week supply (42 capsules) costs £21.50, 4-week supply (84 capsules) £42.99, 8-week supply (168 capsules) £86.99, and 12-week supply (252 capsules) £128.99. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order, reducing the 4-week supply to just £38.69. All prices include the private prescription - no additional consultation fees.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our online clinical assessment covers your medical history, current medications, BMI, and weight management goals. UK-licensed prescribers review every application individually to determine if Xenical is clinically appropriate. The assessment typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete and asks about conditions that may affect suitability, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and previous weight loss attempts. Prescriptions are only issued where clinically suitable following this thorough review.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing clinically equivalent effects. Xenical is the original branded version manufactured by Roche, while generic orlistat offers the same clinical benefits at a lower cost. A 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option, while others choose generic orlistat for better value. Both require the same private prescription process and clinical assessment.
How Xenical Works
Xenical works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed in your digestive system. It inhibits lipase enzymes in the gut, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through the body. This can support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Xenical acts locally in the digestive system and is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream, making it different from appetite suppressants that affect the brain.
Delivery and Dispensing
All Xenical orders are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered in discreet packaging. Next day delivery is available across the UK with tracking information provided. Your medication arrives with comprehensive patient information leaflets and dosing guidance. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered through your online account, with automatic reminders available to ensure continuity of treatment.
