Why Choose Private Prescription for Alli 60mg?
Private vs NHS Route for Orlistat
Whilst orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients choose the private prescription route to avoid waiting lists and lengthy GP appointments. Our online clinical assessment provides the same regulated standards as your local surgery, but with significantly faster access. UK-licensed prescribers review your health questionnaire and can issue a prescription where clinically appropriate, often within hours rather than weeks.
Alli 60mg Pricing and Options
Alli 60mg capsules are available in convenient pack sizes to suit your treatment plan. A 4-week supply (42 capsules) costs £28.99, reduced to £26.09 with code EDM10. For longer-term treatment, our 8-week supply (84 capsules) is £54.99 (£49.49 with EDM10), whilst a 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £129.99 (£116.99 with EDM10). All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees.
How Alli 60mg Works
Alli contains orlistat at 60mg strength, which works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with the unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts. The medication must be taken alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for optimal results.
Alli vs Prescription-Strength Orlistat
Alli 60mg provides half the dose of prescription-strength orlistat (120mg) and Xenical (120mg). This lower strength may result in milder gastrointestinal side effects whilst still supporting weight management. For patients requiring stronger treatment, we also supply generic orlistat 120mg from £15.20 per 2-week supply and branded Xenical 120mg from £19.35 per 2-week supply, both with code EDM10.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our streamlined process eliminates the need for GP appointments. Simply complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether Alli 60mg is suitable for your circumstances. If approved, your prescription is sent directly to our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester for dispensing and next-day delivery.
Who May Be Suitable for Alli 60mg
Alli may be suitable for adults seeking weight management support as part of a structured programme including dietary changes and increased physical activity. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment, considering factors such as your BMI, medical history, and current medications. Our prescribers ensure treatment is only provided where clinically appropriate and safe for each patient.
Managing Side Effects
Like all orlistat products, Alli 60mg may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when consuming high-fat meals. These typically include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and urgent bowel movements. Side effects can be significantly reduced by keeping dietary fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) and are often less pronounced with Alli's lower 60mg dose compared to prescription-strength alternatives.
