Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Private vs NHS Route for Orlistat in the UK
Orlistat 120mg is available through both NHS and private prescription routes in the UK. The private prescription route through EverydayMeds offers faster access without GP appointments or NHS waiting lists. Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your suitability through a secure online consultation, with treatment dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Orlistat Dosing: What You Need to Know
The standard orlistat dose in the UK is 120mg taken three times daily with each main meal containing fat. This equates to 21 capsules per week, which is why our pack sizes are structured accordingly. Our 42-capsule packs provide a 2-week supply (£16.89, or £15.20 with EDM10), whilst 84 capsules cover 4 weeks (£32.99, or £29.69 with EDM10).
Choose Generic Orlistat or Branded Xenical
We stock both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, whilst Xenical is available for £38.69 for the same period. Both work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Extended Treatment Options
For longer-term treatment, our 8-week supplies (168 capsules) cost £57.59 for generic orlistat or £78.29 for Xenical with EDM10. Our 12-week packs (252 capsules) are available at £86.39 for orlistat and £116.09 for Xenical with discount code EDM10. All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees.
How Our Private Prescription Service Works
Complete our online health questionnaire detailing your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues a private prescription for orlistat. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with next day delivery across the UK.
Clinical Assessment for Orlistat
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess each case individually, considering your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. Not everyone will be eligible - suitability depends on your individual health circumstances.
