Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Faster Access Without NHS Delays
Private orlistat prescriptions offer a direct route to weight loss medication without NHS waiting lists or GP appointment delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your suitability online and issue prescriptions the same day where clinically appropriate. This means you can start your weight management programme immediately rather than waiting weeks for an NHS consultation.
Three Orlistat Options Available
We stock three prescription weight loss options to suit different budgets and preferences. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective solution at £29.69 for a 4-week supply with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect at £38.69 per month. Alli 60mg capsules offer a lower-strength option at £49.49 for 8 weeks. All contain the active ingredient orlistat, which blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
How Private Prescribing Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and assesses whether orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances. If approved, we dispense your medication immediately from our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatch for next day delivery. The entire process takes 24 hours from consultation to delivery.
Clinical Assessment for Orlistat Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess each case individually, considering your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. This clinical review ensures orlistat is both safe and appropriate for your circumstances before any prescription is issued.
Cost Comparison: Private vs NHS
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription often proves more convenient and cost-effective. NHS prescriptions require GP appointments, potential waiting lists, and prescription charges. Our private service includes the prescription fee in the medication price - orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69 monthly with EDM10, often comparable to NHS prescription charges but with immediate access and doorstep delivery.
Professional Support Throughout Treatment
Private prescription includes ongoing clinical support from our pharmacy team. We provide dosing guidance, dietary advice, and side effect management throughout your treatment. Our pharmacists can answer questions about taking orlistat alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and help optimise your weight management programme for best results.
