Get Orlistat Privately - Start Treatment This Week
How Quickly Does Orlistat Take to Work?
Orlistat begins working immediately after taking your first capsule. The medication acts locally in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. However, noticeable weight management effects typically develop over several weeks when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately through EverydayMeds offers significant advantages. Skip GP waiting times and lengthy referral processes. Our online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers means you can start treatment within days, not weeks. All prescriptions are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with next day delivery available.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Choose from three effective options: Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which inhibits lipase enzymes to reduce dietary fat absorption.
What to Expect When Starting Treatment
Take one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. You may notice gastrointestinal side effects initially, particularly if meals are high in fat. These effects indicate the medication is working by preventing fat absorption. Side effects typically reduce as you adapt to a lower-fat diet. Most patients find keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each significantly improves tolerance.
