Private Prescription Orlistat - Treatment Duration Guide
How Long Is Orlistat Prescribed For?
Orlistat treatment duration varies by individual response and clinical need. Most prescribers recommend an initial 12-week course to assess effectiveness, with some patients continuing longer under medical supervision. Unlike the NHS route with potential waiting times, private prescription orlistat through EverydayMeds provides immediate access following online clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers determine appropriate treatment duration based on your individual circumstances, BMI, and weight loss goals.
Private vs NHS Orlistat Prescription Routes
The NHS offers orlistat but with strict eligibility criteria and waiting lists. Private prescription through EverydayMeds eliminates delays - complete our online consultation and receive prescriber review within 24 hours. Treatment duration decisions remain with qualified healthcare professionals, but access is significantly faster. Orlistat 120mg costs from £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10, compared to NHS prescription charges plus potential waiting times for GP appointments.

When Prescribers May Extend Treatment
Orlistat may be prescribed beyond 12 weeks if weight loss response is satisfactory and treatment remains clinically appropriate. Private prescription allows more flexible prescribing compared to rigid NHS protocols. Your prescriber will assess factors including weight loss achieved, side effect tolerance, and ongoing motivation for dietary changes. Extended treatment requires continued medical supervision, easily arranged through EverydayMeds' ongoing prescription service.
