Private Prescription: Faster Access to Orlistat 120mg
Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat 120mg?
The highest dose of orlistat available is 120mg, requiring a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional. While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription through EverydayMeds offers faster access without GP waiting times. Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your suitability online, eliminating the need for a face-to-face appointment while maintaining the same clinical standards.
Orlistat 120mg vs Xenical: Same Strength, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the highest prescribed dose. The clinical effect is the same - both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat offers significant savings: 4 weeks costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) compared to Xenical at £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Save nearly £10 per month by choosing generic orlistat without compromising on clinical effectiveness.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your details and determines suitability for orlistat 120mg treatment. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Orders are dispatched with next day tracked delivery in discreet packaging. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Orlistat 120mg: Maximum Strength for Weight Management
Orlistat 120mg is the highest dose available and works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. One 120mg capsule is taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. This prescription-only strength is designed to support weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Flexible Supply Options with Savings
Choose from multiple supply durations to suit your treatment plan: 2 weeks (42 capsules) for £16.89, 4 weeks (84 capsules) for £32.99, 8 weeks (168 capsules) for £63.99, or 12 weeks (252 capsules) for £95.99. Apply code EDM10 at checkout for 10% off every order, available to both new and returning customers. Longer supplies offer better value - the 12-week option works out at just £2.86 per day with the discount applied.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Orlistat 120mg requires individual clinical assessment to ensure suitability and safety. Our prescribers evaluate factors including your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight-related health conditions. Treatment may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or 28kg/m² with weight-related risk factors such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The medication works best when combined with a structured diet and exercise programme, with dietary fat kept low to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
