Private Prescription Assessment for Combined Treatment
Can Orlistat and Saxenda Be Taken Together?
Orlistat and Saxenda are both prescription weight management treatments that work through different mechanisms. Orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the gut, while Saxenda (liraglutide) acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist affecting appetite regulation. Whether these can be taken together depends on your individual health circumstances and requires assessment by a qualified UK-licensed prescriber.
EverydayMeds' private prescription service allows you to discuss combination therapy without waiting for NHS appointments. Our prescribers will review your current Saxenda treatment, medical history, and weight management goals to determine if adding orlistat is clinically appropriate for you.
Private Prescription Benefits Over NHS Route
The NHS route for orlistat typically involves lengthy waiting times, multiple GP appointments, and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service offers faster access with comprehensive clinical assessment completed online. You'll receive the same regulated, professional care from UK-licensed prescribers without the delays.
Orlistat 120mg is available from £32.99 for 4 weeks, or £29.69 with discount code EDM10. For those preferring branded options, Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical active ingredients and offer the same clinical effect when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
How the Combination Assessment Works
Your online consultation will cover your current Saxenda dosage, response to treatment, any side effects experienced, and your weight management history. Our prescribers need this information to assess whether orlistat would be a suitable addition to your treatment plan or if adjustments to your current therapy would be more appropriate.
The assessment considers potential drug interactions, your current BMI, weight loss goals, and overall health status. This comprehensive review ensures any prescription issued is both safe and clinically justified for your specific circumstances.
Orlistat Treatment Options Available
We stock three orlistat options through private prescription. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £63.99 for 8 weeks (£57.59 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £86.99 for 8 weeks (£78.29 with EDM10). For those wanting a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10).
All pack sizes include the prescription consultation fee, so there are no hidden costs. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day tracked delivery available.
