How to Order Orlistat Online with Prescription
Simple Online Prescription Process
Getting your orlistat prescription online is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your details and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery. The entire process replaces the need for a separate GP appointment, with prescription included in the price.
Choose Between Generic Orlistat or Branded Xenical
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at identical doses. Generic orlistat offers excellent value from £15.20 per 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10. Xenical branded version starts from £19.35 per 2-week supply with the same discount. A 12-week supply of generic orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10, providing significant savings over shorter supplies. Both work identically by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment for Prescription Approval
Orlistat 120mg is prescription-only medication requiring individual clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers review suitability based on BMI criteria and health circumstances. Treatment may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The prescriber determines whether orlistat is suitable for your specific situation following review of your online consultation.
How Orlistat Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. The medication acts locally in the gut rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Orlistat works best when combined with a structured weight management programme including reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Complete Treatment Packages Available
We stock comprehensive treatment packages from 2-week trials to 12-week supplies. Generic orlistat 168 capsules (8-week supply) costs £57.59 with EDM10, while Xenical 168 capsules costs £78.29 with the same discount. Longer supplies offer better value per capsule. All packages include the online consultation and prescription at no extra cost. Your prescriber may recommend starting with a shorter supply to assess tolerance before progressing to longer treatment periods.
