Private Prescription Process - Faster Than NHS Route
How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat tablets work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that normally break down dietary fat. When you take an orlistat capsule with a meal containing fat, approximately one third of that fat cannot be digested or absorbed into your body. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system, reducing the calories absorbed from your meal. Orlistat acts locally in the gut rather than affecting your brain or central nervous system, making it different from appetite suppressants.
Private Prescription Benefits Over NHS
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription through EverydayMeds offers faster access without waiting for a GP appointment. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability through a comprehensive online consultation, typically providing same-day approval where clinically appropriate. You'll receive genuine orlistat 120mg from £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester with next day delivery.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Your Options
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. Generic orlistat offers significant savings - a 4-week supply costs £29.69 with EDM10 compared to £38.69 for Xenical. Both require the same clinical assessment and prescription process. Choose generic orlistat for value or Xenical if you prefer the branded option - both provide identical clinical effects when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our private prescription process begins with a detailed online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. This replaces the need for a face-to-face GP consultation while maintaining the same clinical standards. If approved, your prescription is dispensed immediately and dispatched for next day delivery.
Treatment Suitability and Effectiveness
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The medication works best when combined with meals containing no more than 15g fat each, spread across three main meals daily. Most patients experience the fat-blocking effects immediately, though sustainable weight management requires continued adherence to a lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
