Private Orlistat Prescription - Skip NHS Waiting Lists
Is Orlistat a GLP-1 Medication?
No, orlistat is not a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medication. These are two completely different types of weight loss treatments with distinct mechanisms of action. Orlistat works as a lipase inhibitor in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. GLP-1 medications work as hormone mimics, affecting appetite regulation and blood sugar control through different pathways in the body.
How Orlistat Actually Works
Orlistat 120mg capsules work locally in your gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This means approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through your body unabsorbed. Unlike GLP-1 treatments, orlistat doesn't affect your brain's appetite centres - it simply reduces the calories absorbed from fatty foods when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription Benefits
Getting orlistat through private prescription eliminates NHS waiting times and lengthy GP appointments. Our online service connects you directly with UK-licensed prescribers who can assess your suitability and issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. Generic orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69 per month (4-week supply) with code EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical.
Available Orlistat Options
We stock three orlistat formulations: Generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective at £29.69/month), branded Xenical 120mg (£38.69/month), and lower-strength Alli 60mg (£49.49 for 8-week supply). All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - but at different strengths. Prescription-strength 120mg versions require clinical assessment, whilst 60mg Alli is available at pharmacy strength.
