Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, many patients choose the private prescription route for faster, more convenient access. NHS prescribing is subject to strict eligibility criteria, waiting times for GP appointments, and local commissioning decisions. Our private prescription service offers immediate access to the same MHRA-regulated medication through a streamlined online process.
How Our Private Prescription Service Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat, Xenical, or Alli is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is issued and your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Most orders are processed and dispatched the same day with next-day delivery available across the UK.
Orlistat Options Available on Private Prescription
We offer three orlistat-based treatments through private prescription. Generic orlistat 120mg is the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg is the branded version containing identical active ingredient at £42.99 for 84 capsules (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 84 capsules (£49.49 with EDM10). All options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment for Private Prescription
Every private prescription requires individual clinical assessment by our qualified UK prescribers. They evaluate your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight-related health factors to determine treatment suitability. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. This thorough assessment ensures you receive appropriate treatment safely.
Cost Comparison: Private vs NHS
NHS orlistat prescriptions cost £9.65 per item in England (free in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland). However, NHS access depends on meeting strict criteria and GP availability. Our private prescription includes the clinical consultation, prescription, and medication supply in one transparent price. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order, making 4-week generic orlistat supply just £29.69 - exceptional value for private healthcare.
Same Standards, Faster Access
Our private prescription service maintains the same regulatory standards as NHS prescribing. All medication is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains, prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals, and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy. You receive identical medication quality with significantly faster access and greater convenience. Order today for next-day delivery of your private orlistat prescription.
