Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Private vs NHS Route - Faster Access to Orlistat
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately through EverydayMeds offers significant advantages. Skip lengthy NHS waiting lists and GP appointment delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability online, providing faster access to weight loss medication without the bureaucracy. Following your online clinical assessment, we can dispense and deliver your prescription within 24 hours - a process that might take weeks through traditional NHS channels.
Orlistat and Keto Diet Compatibility
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, making it compatible with modified low-carb approaches. However, traditional very-high-fat keto diets may increase gastrointestinal side effects. Our prescribers can advise on the optimal approach, typically recommending a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet that supports both orlistat effectiveness and minimises side effects. This hybrid approach can support sustainable weight management.
Three Options Available Through Private Prescription
Choose from three orlistat formulations based on your preferences and budget. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All require clinical assessment and prescription approval.
How Our Online Assessment Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines suitability for orlistat treatment. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery. The entire process typically completes within 24 hours - no GP waiting rooms required.
Professional Standards and Regulation
EverydayMeds operates under the same regulatory standards as any UK pharmacy. We're GPhC-registered, use MHRA-regulated supply chains, and employ qualified UK-licensed prescribers. Your orlistat prescription meets identical legal and clinical standards to NHS provision, but with enhanced convenience and speed. Discrete packaging ensures complete privacy, with tracked delivery across the UK.
