Private Prescription Orlistat - How to Order Online
Understanding How Orlistat Works - Not Fat "Burning"
Orlistat doesn't actually "burn" fat like some people imagine. Instead, it works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body rather than being stored. This mechanism makes orlistat effective for weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet, but it's not a fat "burner" in the traditional sense.
Private Prescription Route - Faster Than NHS
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription through EverydayMeds offers significant advantages. No waiting for GP appointments, no NHS eligibility delays, and treatment can begin within 24-48 hours following clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your health questionnaire and can prescribe where clinically appropriate. Generic orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69 for 4 weeks with code EDM10, often more affordable than multiple GP visits.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Option?
All three products contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg (generic) provides the most cost-effective option at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Xenical 120mg is the branded version at £38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 - clinically identical to generic orlistat. Alli 60mg offers half the prescription strength for those preferring a gentler starting approach. Your prescriber will determine the most suitable option during clinical assessment.
The Online Prescription Process
Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within 24 hours. If treatment is appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Next day delivery is available across the UK with discreet packaging. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber assesses individual suitability based on your health questionnaire responses. Treatment must always be combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity. Not everyone will be eligible - final prescribing decisions rest with qualified healthcare professionals.
