How Our Online Prescription Process Works
Complete Your Online Health Assessment
Start your orlistat prescription journey by completing our confidential online consultation form. Our UK-licensed prescribers need to assess your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals to determine whether orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, or Alli 60mg is clinically appropriate for you. The consultation covers your BMI, any weight-related health conditions, and your commitment to following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside treatment.
UK-Licensed Prescriber Review
Following submission of your health questionnaire, a qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information thoroughly. They assess whether orlistat treatment is suitable based on current clinical guidelines for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related risk factors such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. This professional review ensures your safety and treatment appropriateness.
Prescription Issued Where Appropriate
If our prescriber determines that orlistat is clinically suitable for you, they will issue your prescription electronically. You can then choose from generic orlistat 120mg starting at £15.20 for 42 capsules (2-week supply), branded Xenical 120mg from £19.35, or Alli 60mg from £26.09. All prices include 10% discount with code EDM10, with prescription consultation included at no extra cost.
GPhC-Registered Dispensing and Delivery
Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched via next-day tracked delivery in discreet packaging. We stock orlistat in multiple pack sizes: 2-week (42 capsules), 4-week (84 capsules), 8-week (168 capsules), and 12-week (252 capsules) supplies to suit different treatment durations. Orders placed before our daily cut-off time typically arrive the following working day.
Expected Weight Loss with Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. When combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity, orlistat may support weight management efforts. Individual responses vary, and your prescriber will discuss realistic expectations during the assessment process. Treatment works best when fat intake is limited to around 15g per meal to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
Choosing Between Orlistat, Xenical, and Alli
Our prescribers can help you choose the most appropriate option. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective prescription-strength treatment at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at £49.49 for 8 weeks. All require commitment to dietary changes and may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly with high-fat meals.
