How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Simple Online Prescription Process
Our online prescription service makes accessing orlistat weight loss tablets straightforward. Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription where clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next day delivery.
Orlistat and Xenical - Same Active Ingredient, Different Prices
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect at a lower price. Orlistat 84 capsules (4-week supply) costs £29.69 with EDM10, whilst Xenical costs £38.69. Both options are prescription-only and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Treatment Packages Available
Choose from flexible treatment durations to suit your weight management plan. Two-week starter packs let you try the treatment (orlistat 42 capsules £15.20, Xenical £19.35 with EDM10). Four-week supplies provide a month's treatment (orlistat 84 capsules £29.69, Xenical £38.69). Extended 12-week packages offer the best value for longer-term weight management (orlistat 252 capsules £86.39, Xenical £116.09). All prices include the online consultation and prescription.
Clinical Assessment by UK Prescribers
Every prescription request is reviewed by qualified UK healthcare professionals. Our prescribers assess your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight-related health factors to determine treatment suitability. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Final prescribing decisions are made following individual clinical assessment.
How Orlistat Supports Weight Management
Orlistat works in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of fat from meals being absorbed into your body, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your system. The medication is most effective when combined with a structured weight management programme including a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Next Day Delivery Across the UK
All orders are dispatched from our GPhC-registered pharmacy with tracked, discreet packaging. Orders placed before 3pm Monday-Friday are eligible for next day delivery. Your medication arrives securely packaged with clear dosing instructions and patient information leaflets. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered through your online account for continued treatment support.
