How Does Private Prescription Orlistat Work for Weight Loss?
Can Orlistat Help You Lose Weight?
Orlistat may help support weight management by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This prescription-only medicine works locally in the gut, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, potentially reducing calorie intake from dietary sources when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Private Prescription Benefits - Skip NHS Delays
Our private prescription service offers faster access to orlistat without NHS waiting times. Following online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, eligible patients can access treatment within 24-48 hours. No GP appointment needed - simply complete our medical questionnaire for prescriber review. All medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy meets the same regulatory standards as NHS prescriptions.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Option?
We offer three clinically-proven options. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), containing identical active ingredients to branded Xenical 120mg (£38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10). Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual circumstances.
