Get Private Orlistat Prescription - Same Day Assessment
Why Orlistat May Not Be Working
If you're not seeing weight loss results with orlistat, several factors could be affecting its effectiveness. The most common reason is dietary fat intake - orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but only when taken correctly with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. High-fat meals reduce effectiveness and increase side effects.
Another key factor is accessing the right strength. Prescription-strength orlistat 120mg is clinically more effective than lower-dose alternatives. Through our private prescription service, you can access orlistat 120mg (generic) from £32.99 for 4 weeks, or £29.69 with code EDM10.
Private Prescription Advantages
Our private prescription route eliminates NHS waiting times and provides faster access to prescription-strength orlistat. Following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, suitable patients can receive same-day prescriptions without GP appointments. This means you can start effective treatment immediately rather than waiting weeks for NHS appointments.
Xenical 120mg (branded orlistat) is also available through private prescription at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both generic orlistat and Xenical contain identical active ingredients at the same 120mg dose - the key difference is cost, with generic offering significant savings.
Maximising Orlistat Effectiveness
Our prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on using orlistat effectively. Key recommendations include keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each, spreading daily fat intake across three main meals, and taking one capsule with each fat-containing meal. This approach maximises fat-blocking effects while minimising gastrointestinal side effects.
For optimal results, orlistat must be combined with a structured weight management programme including reduced-calorie intake and increased physical activity. A daily multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime is recommended to replace fat-soluble vitamins that may be reduced during treatment.
Treatment Options and Pricing
We stock three orlistat options through private prescription. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective treatment: 8-week supply (168 capsules) costs £63.99, or £57.59 with EDM10. Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect as a premium branded option at £86.99 for 8 weeks (£78.29 with EDM10).
Alli 60mg capsules are available at half the prescription strength for patients preferring a gentler starting dose. However, prescription-strength 120mg formulations are clinically more effective for significant weight management goals. All treatments include the prescription fee with no additional GP charges.
