Why Choose Private Prescription for This Proven Treatment?
Orlistat's Established History in Weight Management
Orlistat has been helping patients manage their weight for over 25 years, first gaining regulatory approval in 1998. This extensive track record demonstrates its established place in clinical practice. Originally developed by Roche as Xenical, the medication later became available as generic orlistat, providing the same clinical effect at a lower cost.
Private vs NHS Prescription Routes
While orlistat is available through the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. NHS access often involves lengthy waiting times for GP appointments, followed by potential referrals to specialist services. Our private service eliminates these delays - complete your online consultation today and receive prescriber review within hours, not weeks.
Three Options Available Through Private Prescription
Generic orlistat 120mg remains the most cost-effective choice at £32.99 for 84 capsules (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect at £42.99 for 84 capsules (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg provides half the dose at £28.99 for 42 capsules (£26.09 with EDM10).
Fast Access Without GP Delays
Our streamlined process replaces traditional GP appointments with comprehensive online assessment. UK-licensed prescribers review your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Where clinically appropriate, prescriptions are issued the same day and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Proven Mechanism of Action
Throughout its 25+ year history, orlistat's mechanism remains unchanged - it works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in the digestive system. This established approach supports weight management alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through the body, helping reduce calorie intake from dietary sources.
