Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Understanding Orlistat 60mg Uses in Weight Management
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. The 60mg strength (available as Alli) provides a lower-dose option compared to prescription-strength 120mg orlistat. This medication may be suitable for adults seeking weight management support alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Our private prescription service offers faster access than NHS routes, with UK-licensed prescribers available to assess your suitability online.
Private vs NHS Prescription Routes
The NHS pathway for orlistat typically involves GP appointments, eligibility assessments, and potential waiting lists. Our private prescription service bypasses these delays, offering same-day prescriber review and next day delivery. You'll complete a comprehensive online health questionnaire reviewed by qualified UK healthcare professionals, with orlistat dispensed from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester if clinically appropriate.
Orlistat Strength Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat options: Alli 60mg from £26.09 (4-week supply), generic orlistat 120mg from £29.69 (4-week supply), and branded Xenical 120mg from £38.69 (4-week supply) — all prices include our EDM10 discount. The 60mg strength provides a gentler introduction to lipase inhibitor therapy, whilst 120mg strengths offer maximum clinical effect. Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual assessment.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our confidential online consultation covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched via tracked, discreet packaging for next day delivery. The entire process typically completes within 24 hours, compared to weeks through NHS channels.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess each case individually, considering your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. This clinical review ensures orlistat is safe and appropriate for your circumstances, with ongoing support available throughout your treatment journey.
