Private Prescription: Faster Access to Weight Loss Treatment
Why Choose Private Prescription for Xenical?
The private prescription route offers significant advantages over NHS pathways for accessing orlistat and Xenical. Whilst the NHS provides orlistat for eligible patients, strict criteria and lengthy waiting times often delay treatment. Our private prescription service eliminates these barriers, providing faster access to the same clinically-proven medication through qualified UK healthcare professionals.
How Private Prescription Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines suitability for orlistat or Xenical 120mg. Following approval, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours compared to weeks through NHS channels.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Choose between generic orlistat 120mg from £15.20 (2-week supply with EDM10) or branded Xenical from £19.35. Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Longer treatment courses offer better value: 12-week orlistat supply costs £86.39 with discount, whilst Xenical 12-week treatment is £116.09. All prices include the private prescription fee.
Clinical Assessment Standards
Our prescribers follow the same clinical guidelines as NHS practitioners, assessing BMI, weight-related health conditions, and contraindications. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30kg/m² or above, or BMI 28kg/m² with associated health risks like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Delivery and Ongoing Support
All orders are dispatched discreetly with tracked next day delivery across the UK. Your medication arrives with comprehensive patient information and dosing guidance. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Regular weight monitoring and dietary adherence maximise treatment effectiveness. Repeat prescriptions can be arranged through the same streamlined online process.
