Safe Weight Management After Pregnancy - Expert Guidance
Why Orlistat Cannot Be Taken During Pregnancy
Orlistat 120mg, Xenical 120mg, and Alli 60mg are all contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a GPhC-registered pharmacy, EverydayMeds adheres to strict MHRA guidelines ensuring patient safety. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but this mechanism may interfere with essential nutrient absorption needed during pregnancy. Our UK-licensed prescribers will not prescribe orlistat to pregnant women or those planning pregnancy, prioritising maternal and foetal health above all else.
Post-Pregnancy Weight Management Options
Following pregnancy and breastfeeding, orlistat may be suitable for weight management when prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals. EverydayMeds offers orlistat 120mg from £15.20 (with EDM10), Xenical 120mg from £19.35, and Alli 60mg from £26.09. Our online clinical assessment determines suitability based on individual circumstances, BMI, and health status. Treatment is only prescribed where clinically appropriate alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Expert Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough assessments considering pregnancy history, breastfeeding status, and overall health. The online consultation reviews medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Orlistat 120mg requires prescription following clinical assessment, whilst our pharmacy ensures MHRA-regulated supply chains and next-day delivery across the UK. Each treatment plan is tailored to individual needs with ongoing support.
