Get Orlistat Privately - Faster Than NHS Route
How Orlistat Works - Not an Appetite Suppressant
Orlistat doesn't curb your appetite or act on your brain like traditional appetite suppressants. Instead, it works in your digestive system by blocking lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. This prevents approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed, with unabsorbed fat passing naturally through your body. The medication acts locally in your gut and isn't significantly absorbed into your bloodstream.
Private Prescription Orlistat - Skip NHS Delays
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription offers faster access without GP waiting times. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability through a secure online consultation. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from £32.99 for 84 capsules (4-week supply), or £29.69 with code EDM10. This includes your prescription - no separate consultation fees.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Option?
All three contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg (generic) and Xenical 120mg (branded) are clinically identical prescription medicines. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £86.39 for 12 weeks with EDM10, whilst branded Xenical costs £116.09 for the same period. Alli 60mg is half-strength and doesn't require a prescription, priced at £116.99 for 12 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10).
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Complete our medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and BMI details. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate. If approved, we dispense and dispatch your medication the same day for next day delivery. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester ensures all medications meet MHRA quality standards.
Managing Expectations and Side Effects
Since orlistat blocks fat absorption rather than reducing appetite, you may still feel hungry - the medication won't change your desire to eat. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal) significantly reduces side effects like oily stools and abdominal discomfort. A reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside regular exercise maximises treatment effectiveness.
