Why Choose Private Prescription for Your Treatment?
Private vs NHS Route: Skip the Wait
Accessing metformin and orlistat through private prescription eliminates NHS waiting times and lengthy GP appointment delays. EverydayMeds' UK-licensed prescribers provide clinical assessments online, typically within hours rather than weeks. This regulated private route offers the same clinical standards as NHS prescribing, but with significantly faster access to treatment.
Orlistat Options with Private Prescription
Following your online clinical assessment, our prescribers can approve generic orlistat 120mg from £29.69 monthly (4-week supply with EDM10), or branded Xenical 120mg from £38.69 monthly. Both contain identical active ingredients and provide the same clinical effect - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Complete Treatment Pricing
Our transparent private prescription pricing includes consultation and prescription fees. Orlistat 120mg: 2-week supply £15.20, 4-week supply £29.69, 8-week supply £57.59, 12-week supply £86.39 (all with EDM10). Xenical pricing: 2-week supply £19.35, 4-week supply £38.69, 8-week supply £78.29, 12-week supply £116.09. Every order receives 10% discount with code EDM10.
How Private Online Prescribing Works
Complete our confidential medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications including metformin, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. If approved, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester, then dispatched for next-day delivery in discreet packaging.
Combining Metformin and Orlistat Safely
Patients taking metformin for type 2 diabetes may be suitable for orlistat treatment, subject to individual clinical assessment. Our prescribers evaluate your complete medication profile to ensure safe co-prescribing. This combination may support weight management in diabetic patients with BMI 28+ or obesity-related health conditions, always alongside dietary modifications.
Professional Standards Without the Wait
EverydayMeds maintains identical regulatory standards to NHS prescribing through MHRA oversight and GPhC registration. Our UK-licensed prescribers apply the same clinical criteria for orlistat eligibility, ensuring safe, appropriate treatment. The key difference is speed - access your prescription in hours, not weeks, with professional healthcare delivered to your door.
