Why Choose Private Prescription Orlistat?
Private vs NHS Route - Skip the Wait
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it through your GP often involves lengthy waiting lists and multiple appointments. Our private prescription service offers a faster, more convenient alternative. Following an online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, you can receive your prescription without the need for a face-to-face GP visit. This regulated approach maintains the same clinical standards whilst providing quicker access to treatment.
Generic Orlistat vs Branded Xenical
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses, providing clinically equivalent effects. The key difference is cost - our generic orlistat saves you approximately £9 per month compared to Xenical. A 4-week supply costs just £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Complete Range Available
We stock comprehensive supplies to support your weight management journey. Our orlistat 120mg is available in 2-week (£16.89), 4-week (£32.99), 8-week (£63.99), and 12-week (£95.99) supplies. All prices qualify for 10% discount with code EDM10, available to new and returning customers. We also offer branded Xenical and lower-strength Alli 60mg for those preferring alternative options.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI details. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information to determine treatment suitability. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Your medication is then dispatched with tracked, discreet packaging and next-day delivery available across the UK. The prescription is included in the price - no separate consultation fees.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Orlistat 120mg is prescription-only and requires clinical assessment before supply. Our prescribers evaluate suitability based on BMI, medical history, and individual health circumstances. Treatment may be appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions. Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal and linked to dietary fat intake. These can be minimised by following a lower-fat diet as recommended.
