Simple Online Prescription Process for Weight Loss
How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Getting your orlistat or Wegovy prescription through EverydayMeds follows a simple three-step process. Complete our online health questionnaire with your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your details and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day delivery available.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value from £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient but as the branded version, priced at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £26.09 for a 4-week supply. All options require clinical assessment by our prescribers.
Who May Be Suitable for Treatment
Our prescribers assess suitability based on individual health circumstances. Orlistat may be appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Your prescriber will determine whether treatment is right for you following their clinical review.
Understanding How Orlistat Works
Orlistat works by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of the fat you eat. It inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing dietary fat from being digested and absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat as part of a structured weight management programme. Orlistat acts locally in the digestive system and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts.
Managing Treatment Effectively
Success with orlistat depends on following dietary guidelines alongside the medication. Keep daily fat intake to approximately 30% of calories, spread evenly across three main meals. This typically means around 15g of fat per meal. High-fat meals increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects, which are the most common side effects experienced. Taking a daily multivitamin at bedtime is recommended, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Your prescriber will provide full guidance on managing treatment effectively.
