Private Orlistat Prescription - Fast Online Access
How to Take Orlistat 120mg Capsules Correctly
Orlistat 120mg capsules should be taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Take one capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each meal. If you miss a meal or eat a meal with no fat, you can skip that dose. The maximum dose is three capsules per day, and each capsule blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription through EverydayMeds offers faster access without lengthy waiting times. Our online clinical assessment replaces the need for a GP appointment, with UK-licensed prescribers reviewing your application typically within 24 hours. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4 weeks), reduced to £29.69 with discount code EDM10.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Choose Your Option
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses with the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks, while branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same period (both prices with EDM10 discount). Your prescriber will help determine which option suits your needs and budget best during the online consultation.
Essential Dietary Guidelines
To minimise side effects and maximise effectiveness, keep each meal to approximately 15g of fat. Spread your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals, with no more than 30% of daily calories from fat. High-fat meals significantly increase gastrointestinal side effects. A daily multivitamin taken at bedtime is recommended, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Private Prescription Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription if clinically appropriate. Your orlistat is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery in discreet packaging across the UK.
Who Can Use Orlistat 120mg
Orlistat may be suitable for adults aged 18 or over with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or BMI of 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment. The medication must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity for optimal results.
