Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat 60mg?
Private vs NHS Route for Orlistat 60mg
While orlistat is available through the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages for patients seeking faster access to weight management treatment. NHS routes typically involve GP appointments, potential waiting lists, and strict eligibility criteria. Private prescription through EverydayMeds eliminates these barriers, providing direct access to qualified UK prescribers through our secure online consultation process.
How Private Prescription Works
Our streamlined private prescription service connects you with UK-licensed prescribers without lengthy delays. Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A qualified prescriber reviews your assessment and, where clinically appropriate, issues a private prescription. The entire process can be completed from home, with medication dispatched directly from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Orlistat 60mg vs Higher Strength Options
Orlistat 60mg tablets, available as Alli, contain half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat 120mg. This lower strength may be suitable for those preferring a gentler starting point while still blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Our private prescription service also provides access to orlistat 120mg (generic) from £32.99 or Xenical 120mg (branded) from £42.99 for 4-week supplies. All options work through the same mechanism - inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut to reduce dietary fat absorption.
Pricing and Value with Private Prescription
Private prescription eliminates NHS prescription charges while providing competitive pricing. Alli 60mg costs £28.99 for a 4-week supply (42 capsules), reduced to £26.09 with discount code EDM10. Longer supplies offer better value: 8-week packs at £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10) and 12-week supplies at £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). Every customer receives 10% off with code EDM10, applicable to new and returning customers alike.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Private prescription maintains the same clinical standards as NHS prescribing. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess suitability based on BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. Orlistat 60mg may be suitable for adults with obesity or overweight with associated health risks, always alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The lower dose typically produces milder gastrointestinal side effects compared to 120mg strength, though dietary fat restriction remains important for minimising side effects and maximising effectiveness.
