How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Complete Online Medical Assessment
Our online prescription service begins with a comprehensive medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. This clinical assessment is reviewed by qualified UK-licensed prescribers who determine whether orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances. The consultation is included in your purchase price, eliminating the need for a separate GP appointment while maintaining the same clinical standards.
Professional Prescriber Review Process
Every application is reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals registered to prescribe in the UK. They assess your BMI, medical history, and current health status to ensure orlistat is clinically appropriate. Orlistat 120mg may be prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions. This thorough review process ensures you receive safe, appropriate treatment following an individual clinical assessment.
Treatment Options and Pricing
We stock three orlistat products to suit different preferences and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £29.69 for 4 weeks (£32.99 before EDM10 discount). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £38.69 for 4 weeks (£42.99 before discount). Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. For those preferring a lower dose, Alli 60mg is available from £49.49 for 8 weeks.
Dispensing and Delivery Service
Once your prescription is approved, medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched via tracked next day delivery. All packaging is discreet and secure, maintaining your privacy throughout the process. Your medication arrives with full patient information leaflets and dosing guidance. The prescription service includes ongoing support - you can contact our pharmacy team with any medication queries.
Starting Your Weight Management Programme
Orlistat works best alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. The medication blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, supporting your weight management efforts when combined with lifestyle changes. Most patients take one 120mg capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat. Our prescribers provide personalised guidance on diet and dosing to help minimise side effects and maximise treatment effectiveness.
