Why Choose Private Orlistat Prescription?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
NHS orlistat prescriptions often involve lengthy waiting times and multiple GP appointments. Our private prescription service provides immediate access through a streamlined online consultation. UK-licensed prescribers review your application typically within hours, not weeks. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued the same day and dispatched from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Understanding Orlistat and Urination
Many patients ask "does orlistat make you urinate more?" While orlistat primarily affects fat absorption in the gut rather than fluid balance, some users report changes in bathroom habits. This is typically due to the medication's mechanism of blocking approximately one third of dietary fat, leading to more frequent bowel movements rather than increased urination specifically. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, which may require more frequent toilet visits for bowel movements.
Private Prescription Options and Pricing
Choose from three clinically-approved options based on your prescriber's recommendation. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the identical clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg, the lower-strength option, costs £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient - orlistat - which works by inhibiting lipase enzymes to reduce dietary fat absorption.
Convenient Online Process
Complete your medical questionnaire covering BMI, health history and current medications. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information against clinical guidelines for orlistat prescribing. If suitable, your prescription is issued and medication dispensed immediately. We offer next day tracked delivery in discreet packaging across the UK. The prescription fee is included in our pricing - no additional consultation charges.
Managing Side Effects Effectively
Orlistat's gastrointestinal effects can be minimised by maintaining a lower-fat diet - approximately 15g fat per meal. This significantly reduces the likelihood of oily stools, urgent bowel movements and other gut-related side effects. Your prescriber provides comprehensive dietary guidance alongside your prescription. Most patients find side effects reduce over time as they adapt their eating habits.
Clinical Assessment by UK Professionals
Every application is reviewed by GMC-registered prescribers who specialise in weight management. They assess your BMI, health conditions and medication history 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. Your prescriber ensures the treatment aligns with clinical guidelines and your individual health needs.
