Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat 120mg?
How Effective is Orlistat 120mg?
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes in the gut, preventing fat from being digested and absorbed into the body. Unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the digestive system. Clinical effectiveness varies between individuals and depends on following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet alongside the medication.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, eligibility criteria and waiting times can delay access. Private prescription through EverydayMeds offers faster access without a GP appointment. Following an online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, treatment can be prescribed where clinically appropriate and delivered discreetly to your address.
Orlistat 120mg Pricing and Options
Generic orlistat 120mg provides cost-effective treatment with prices starting from £16.89 for 2 weeks (£15.20 with EDM10). For 4-week supplies, the cost is £32.99 (£29.69 with code EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both options are clinically equivalent - the key difference is cost.
Who May Be Suitable for Orlistat?
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by a qualified prescriber through our online consultation process.
