Private Orlistat Prescription Costs & Options
Private Prescription Orlistat Pricing
Getting orlistat through a private prescription offers faster access without NHS waiting times. Our pricing includes the online consultation, prescription, and medication in one convenient package. Generic orlistat 120mg provides excellent value, whilst Xenical offers the branded alternative at a higher cost. Both contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way to block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Orlistat 120mg (Generic) - Best Value Option
Our generic orlistat represents the most cost-effective way to access prescription-strength fat blocking medication. A 4-week supply costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), providing significant savings compared to branded alternatives. This prescription-only medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing the absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat. The medication is clinically identical to Xenical but offered at a lower price point through our private prescription service.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Alternative
Xenical, manufactured by Roche, contains the same orlistat 120mg active ingredient as the generic version. A 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option, though the clinical effect remains identical to generic orlistat. Following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, Xenical may be prescribed for suitable adults as part of a comprehensive weight management programme alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS?
Private prescription orlistat offers several advantages over the NHS route. You can complete an online clinical assessment at your convenience, avoiding GP appointment waiting times. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your medical information within 24 hours, issuing a prescription where clinically appropriate. The entire process is handled online, with medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your door. This saves time and provides faster access to treatment for eligible adults.
Clinical Assessment & Suitability
All orlistat prescriptions require clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional. Our UK-licensed prescribers evaluate your medical history, current medications, BMI, and weight-related health factors. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² or above with conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The medication must always be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity for optimal results.
