How Private Orlistat Prescription Works Online
How Orlistat 120mg Works in Your Body
Orlistat 120mg works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect the brain, orlistat acts locally in the gut. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which can support weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Private Prescription vs NHS Route
While orlistat is available through the NHS, private prescription offers faster access without waiting lists or GP appointments. EverydayMeds' UK-licensed prescribers can assess your suitability online, providing regulated access to both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg. This private route maintains the same clinical standards while offering greater convenience and speed.
Online Assessment Process
Complete a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat treatment is appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched for next-day delivery.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Choose Your Option
Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses with the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Many patients choose generic orlistat for cost savings, though some prefer the branded option. Your prescriber can help you decide which suits your needs.
Treatment Duration Options
EverydayMeds stocks multiple pack sizes to suit different treatment plans. Two-week supplies (42 capsules) from £15.20, four-week supplies (84 capsules) from £29.69, eight-week supplies (168 capsules) from £57.59, and twelve-week supplies (252 capsules) from £86.39 with code EDM10. All prices include the prescription fee and clinical assessment.
Supporting Your Weight Management Journey
Orlistat works most effectively when dietary fat intake stays low - approximately 15g fat per meal helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medication's benefits. Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A multivitamin supplement taken at bedtime supports fat-soluble vitamin absorption while using orlistat.
