How to Get Your Online Orlistat Prescription
Online Prescription Process After Gastric Sleeve
Getting orlistat prescribed online after gastric sleeve surgery follows a straightforward three-step process. First, complete our detailed online health questionnaire, including information about your surgery, current weight management, and any medications you're taking. A UK-licensed prescriber then reviews your information to assess whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for your post-surgery needs. If approved, your prescription is issued and your medication dispatched from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We offer three orlistat formulations to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option, starting from £16.89 for 42 capsules (£15.20 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at identical strength, priced from £21.50 for 42 capsules. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg is available from £28.99. All prices include your prescription - use code EDM10 for 10% off every order.
How Orlistat Works Post-Surgery
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. After gastric sleeve surgery, this mechanism may provide additional support for weight management alongside your smaller stomach capacity and reduced-calorie diet. The medication acts locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for fat digestion. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, supporting your continued weight management goals.
Clinical Assessment for Post-Surgery Use
Our UK-licensed prescribers carefully assess suitability for orlistat after gastric sleeve surgery. Your online consultation covers your surgical history, current medications, eating patterns, and weight management goals. The prescriber considers factors such as your BMI, time since surgery, and any post-operative complications. This thorough assessment ensures orlistat is clinically appropriate for your individual circumstances and won't interfere with your recovery or ongoing care.
Pack Sizes and Treatment Duration
Choose from various pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. Two-week supplies (42 capsules) allow you to trial the medication, while longer courses offer better value. Four-week supplies cost £32.99 for generic orlistat (£29.69 with EDM10) or £42.99 for Xenical. Twelve-week supplies provide maximum savings at £95.99 for generic orlistat (£86.39 with EDM10). Your prescriber will advise on appropriate treatment duration based on your post-surgery progress.
Managing Side Effects After Surgery
Gastrointestinal side effects from orlistat may be more noticeable after gastric sleeve surgery due to changes in your digestive system. Keeping fat intake low - approximately 15g per meal - significantly reduces the likelihood of oily stools, urgency, or anal leakage. Your smaller stomach capacity naturally limits meal sizes, which can help minimise side effects. Always follow your bariatric team's dietary guidelines alongside orlistat treatment.
