Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
Private prescription orlistat offers immediate access to weight loss medication without the lengthy NHS waiting times. Our online clinical assessment replaces the need for a face-to-face GP appointment, with UK-licensed prescribers reviewing your application typically within 24 hours. This streamlined process means you can start your weight management journey sooner, avoiding the delays often experienced through traditional NHS routes.
Three Treatment Options Available
Choose from generic orlistat 120mg (£29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10), branded Xenical 120mg (£38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10), or lower-strength Alli 60mg (£26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10). All contain the lipase inhibitor orlistat that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Generic orlistat provides identical clinical effectiveness to Xenical at a lower cost, making it the most economical choice for private prescription treatment.
How Private Prescription Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability based on clinical guidelines. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next-day tracked delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Private prescription orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or BMI 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess each application individually, ensuring treatment safety and appropriateness. The online consultation covers contraindications, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts to provide personalised care.
Pricing and Value
Private prescription eliminates NHS prescription charges while providing faster access. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with discount code EDM10, compared to £38.69 for branded Xenical. Longer supplies offer better value: 12 weeks costs £86.39 for generic orlistat or £116.09 for Xenical with EDM10. All prices include the private prescription fee and clinical assessment.
Professional Support and Follow-up
Private prescription includes ongoing support from qualified healthcare professionals. Our prescribers provide guidance on managing potential side effects, optimising dietary fat intake, and maximising treatment effectiveness. Regular progress reviews ensure continued treatment appropriateness and safety throughout your weight management journey.
