Private Orlistat Prescription - Faster Than NHS Route
Private vs NHS Orlistat Access
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription offers significantly faster access without waiting lists or GP appointments. Our online clinical assessment provides the same rigorous medical review, but with convenience and speed. UK-licensed prescribers review your health information and can issue prescriptions where clinically appropriate, typically within hours rather than weeks.
How to Use Orlistat 120mg for Weight Loss
Prescription-strength orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Take one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Generic orlistat costs £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), or £29.69 with EDM10 discount. Branded Xenical contains identical active ingredient at £42.99 for the same quantity. Both require clinical assessment by our qualified prescribers.
Private Prescription Process
Complete our online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. Prescriptions are issued where appropriate and dispensed immediately by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy. Next-day delivery ensures rapid treatment start without NHS delays.
Orlistat Product Options Available
Choose from generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective), branded Xenical 120mg (identical clinical effect), or lower-strength Alli 60mg. All work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut. Private prescription includes 2-week starter packs (42 capsules) through to 12-week supplies (252 capsules). Larger pack sizes offer better value - 12-week orlistat supply costs £95.99, saving significantly versus smaller quantities.
Clinical Assessment and Safety
Our prescribers assess eligibility based on BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Private consultation ensures thorough review without rushing typical NHS appointments. All safety considerations, contraindications, and potential interactions are carefully evaluated before prescription approval.
