Why Choose Private Prescription for Xenical?
Fast-Track Access Without NHS Delays
While Xenical is available on the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service provides faster access through online clinical assessment. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your medical history and weight management goals, potentially issuing a prescription the same day if clinically appropriate.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Results, Different Prices
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work exactly the same way. Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10), whilst generic orlistat costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10). Many patients achieve the same weight management results with either option when combined with a lower-fat diet.
How Xenical Supports Weight Management
Xenical works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This can support weight reduction alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity. Results vary between individuals, but many patients find it helps maintain their motivation by providing a structured approach to weight management.
Private Prescription Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and may issue a prescription if Xenical is suitable for you. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day delivery available.
Flexible Pack Sizes for Your Journey
Choose from multiple pack sizes: 2 weeks (£21.50), 4 weeks (£42.99), 8 weeks (£86.99), or 12 weeks (£128.99). All prices include the prescription - no separate consultation fees. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order. Many patients start with 4 weeks to assess tolerance before ordering longer supplies.
Managing Side Effects
Xenical may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These effects are actually signs the medication is working. Keep meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) to minimise side effects whilst maximising effectiveness. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern.
