Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
Getting orlistat through the NHS often involves lengthy waiting times and multiple GP appointments. Our private prescription service offers a faster alternative, with UK-licensed prescribers reviewing your case typically within 24 hours. Complete your online clinical assessment today and receive your orlistat prescription without the delays associated with NHS processes.
Managing Fat Intake on Orlistat: Essential Guidelines
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. To maximise effectiveness and minimise side effects, it's crucial to manage your fat intake properly. Each meal should contain no more than 15g of fat when taking orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg. Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on dietary fat management as part of your private prescription consultation.
Orlistat Pricing: Private Prescription Options
Our private prescription orlistat is competitively priced with transparent costs. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £32.99 for a 4-week supply (84 capsules), reduced to just £29.69 with discount code EDM10. For those preferring branded medication, Xenical 120mg is available from £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
How Orlistat Affects Fat Absorption
When you take orlistat with meals containing fat, it inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system. This prevents approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed, with the unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. The key to successful treatment is spreading your daily fat intake evenly across three main meals and keeping each meal under 15g of fat content.
Private Prescription Process
Our streamlined private prescription process eliminates the need for GP appointments. Complete your online health questionnaire, including details about your weight management goals and current fat intake. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if clinically appropriate, issues your orlistat prescription. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address with next-day delivery available.
Expert Fat Intake Guidance Included
Managing dietary fat whilst taking orlistat requires proper guidance. Our prescribers provide comprehensive advice on meal planning, fat content monitoring, and strategies to minimise gastrointestinal side effects. You'll receive detailed information about suitable foods, portion sizes, and timing of your orlistat capsules in relation to meals.
