Why Choose Private Prescription Orlistat?
When Should Orlistat Be Taken? Complete Dosing Guide
Orlistat 120mg should be taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. This timing ensures orlistat works effectively to block approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. NHS prescribing involves GP appointments, potential waiting lists, and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service provides faster access - complete your online consultation today and receive treatment tomorrow. Starting from £29.69 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules) with code EDM10, you get convenience and speed without compromising on quality.
Orlistat Pricing and Pack Sizes
Choose from flexible treatment options: 2-week supply (42 capsules) £15.20, 4-week supply (84 capsules) £29.69, 8-week supply (168 capsules) £57.59, or 12-week supply (252 capsules) £86.39 - all with EDM10 discount. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical at significant savings. Xenical 120mg is also available for those preferring the branded option, starting from £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10.
How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues your prescription. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery across the UK. The entire process typically takes 24 hours from consultation to delivery.
Maximising Treatment Success
Orlistat works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Keep each meal to approximately 15g of fat to minimise side effects and maximise effectiveness. Take a multivitamin supplement at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) as the medication may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Most patients find side effects reduce significantly once they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern.
