BMI Requirements & Eligibility - Trusted UK Assessment
BMI Requirements for Orlistat Prescription
At EverydayMeds, our UK-licensed prescribers assess orlistat eligibility following MHRA guidelines. Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above (obesity), or BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Each case requires individual clinical assessment - BMI alone doesn't guarantee eligibility.
Why Choose a GPhC-Registered Pharmacy
EverydayMeds is fully registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and regulated by the MHRA. This means your orlistat is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains, prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals, and dispensed to the same standards as your local high street pharmacy. Our Leicester-based facility ensures full UK regulatory compliance.
Orlistat Products & Pricing
We stock three orlistat options: Generic orlistat 120mg (4 weeks £32.99, just £29.69 with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (4 weeks £42.99, £38.69 with EDM10), and Alli 60mg (4 weeks £28.99, £26.09 with EDM10). All contain the same active ingredient that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Professional Clinical Assessment Process
Our online consultation involves completing a detailed health questionnaire covering your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. This regulated process replaces the need for a GP appointment whilst maintaining the same professional standards.
Safe, Regulated Supply Chain
Every orlistat capsule dispensed by EverydayMeds comes from MHRA-approved suppliers. We maintain full traceability and cold-chain integrity where required. Your prescription medication is dispatched with next-day tracked delivery in discreet packaging. As a registered pharmacy, we're legally accountable for every aspect of your treatment supply.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
Weight management with orlistat requires ongoing monitoring. Our prescribers can provide follow-up consultations to review progress and adjust treatment duration. Remember, orlistat works best when combined with a structured diet plan keeping fat intake to approximately 15g per meal. This minimises gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising the medication's effectiveness.
