Why Choose Private Prescription for Combined Treatment?
Taking Orlistat and Metformin Together
Many patients with type 2 diabetes taking metformin may benefit from adding orlistat to support weight management. These medications work through different mechanisms - metformin helps control blood sugar whilst orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Taking them together can be clinically appropriate, but requires proper medical assessment to ensure safe, effective treatment.
Private Route vs NHS Access
The NHS prescribes orlistat but with strict eligibility criteria and often lengthy waiting times for weight management services. Private prescription through EverydayMeds offers faster access without GP appointment delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough online assessments, reviewing your metformin use alongside other health factors to determine if orlistat is suitable for you.
Orlistat Pricing and Options
Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value: 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with discount code EDM10. For longer treatment, 12-week supplies (252 capsules) cost £95.99, just £86.39 with EDM10. Branded Xenical is also available, whilst Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option. All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees.
Enhanced Benefits for Diabetes Patients
Patients with type 2 diabetes taking metformin may find orlistat particularly beneficial for weight management, which can improve blood sugar control. Orlistat may help reduce the need for increased diabetes medication dosing. However, blood sugar monitoring may need adjustment when starting orlistat, making professional oversight essential through our regulated prescribing service.
