Complete Online Prescription Process for Orlistat
How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Getting orlistat through EverydayMeds is straightforward. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your consultation and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with tracked next-day delivery. The prescription is included in the price - no separate fees or GP appointments required.
Pros and Cons of Orlistat Treatment
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, supporting weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The main advantages include its proven mechanism of action and availability through regulated online prescription. However, gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools and increased bowel movements are common, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These side effects can be minimised by keeping fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal).
Your Orlistat Options and Pricing
Choose from generic orlistat 120mg (prescription-only), branded Xenical 120mg (prescription-only), or Alli 60mg. Generic orlistat 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Xenical 84 capsules cost £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10).

All three contain the same active ingredient orlistat, with 120mg versions requiring prescription following clinical assessment.
Who May Be Suitable for Online Prescription
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
