Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
What Is Orlistat and How Does It Work?
Orlistat is a prescription-only medicine that works by blocking the absorption of approximately one third of the fat you eat. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it often involves waiting lists and multiple GP appointments. EverydayMeds' private prescription service offers a faster alternative. Complete an online clinical assessment reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers, with prescription approval often available the same day. No GP appointment needed - just complete our confidential health questionnaire and receive treatment directly to your door.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We stock three orlistat products to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option, starting from £16.89 for a 2-week supply (£15.20 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg is the branded version containing identical orlistat 120mg, priced from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10). For those preferring lower strength, Alli 60mg provides half the dose at £28.99 for a 4-week supply (£26.09 with EDM10).
Fast Online Clinical Assessment
Our streamlined process takes minutes to complete. Answer questions about your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and, where clinically appropriate, issues a private prescription. Treatment is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and dispatched with next day delivery available.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat?
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually through our clinical review process. Our prescribers will determine whether orlistat is appropriate based on your health circumstances and weight management needs.
