Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
Accessing orlistat through the NHS can involve lengthy GP appointments and waiting lists. EverydayMeds' private prescription service provides a faster, more convenient alternative. Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your suitability for orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, or Alli 60mg following an online clinical assessment. No face-to-face appointment required—simply complete our medical questionnaire and receive expert review within 24 hours.
Managing Orlistat Side Effects Including Constipation
While orlistat commonly causes gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools and increased bowel movements, some patients may experience constipation, particularly when adapting to a lower-fat diet. Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on managing all potential side effects. The key is maintaining adequate fibre intake whilst following the recommended low-fat diet (approximately 15g fat per meal). This helps orlistat work effectively whilst minimising digestive discomfort.
Complete Product Range with Expert Support
Choose from our complete orlistat range: generic orlistat 120mg (prescription-only, from £15.20 for 2 weeks), branded Xenical 120mg (from £19.35 for 2 weeks), or lower-strength Alli 60mg. All contain the same active ingredient that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Our 4-week supplies start from £29.69 for generic orlistat or £38.69 for Xenical with code EDM10.
Professional Clinical Assessment
Every private prescription requires individual clinical review by our UK-licensed prescribers. They'll assess your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight management goals to determine suitability. Orlistat may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment is always prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Regulated UK Pharmacy Service
EverydayMeds operates as a fully GPhC-registered online pharmacy based in Leicester. All medications are sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and dispensed by qualified pharmacists. Your private prescription is included in the price—no additional fees for prescriber consultation. Orders are dispatched with next-day tracked delivery in discreet packaging. Use code EDM10 for 10% off every order, whether you're a new or returning customer.
Ongoing Support Throughout Treatment
Private prescription service includes ongoing support for managing your orlistat treatment effectively. This includes guidance on diet modification, managing side effects like constipation, and understanding when to seek additional medical advice. Our team can also advise on appropriate timing for multivitamin supplements, which are recommended during orlistat treatment to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin intake.
