Private Prescription Process: How to Get Started
Why Choose Private Prescription for Xenical?
The private prescription route offers significantly faster access to Xenical compared to NHS waiting times. Through EverydayMeds, you can complete an online clinical assessment, receive prescriber approval, and have your medication dispatched the same day - all without booking a GP appointment. Our UK-licensed prescribers review every application individually, ensuring you receive appropriate treatment whilst avoiding lengthy NHS delays.
How to Use Xenical 120mg Properly
Xenical contains 120mg orlistat per capsule and should be taken exactly as prescribed. Take one capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat, either immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. Never exceed three capsules per day. For best results, keep each meal under 15g fat content to minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising effectiveness.
Private Prescription Options and Pricing
EverydayMeds offers both branded Xenical and generic orlistat 120mg through private prescription. Xenical 4-week supply (84 capsules) costs £42.99, or £38.69 with code EDM10. Generic orlistat offers identical clinical effects at £32.99 for 4 weeks, or £29.69 with EDM10 - saving approximately £9 monthly. Both require the same online clinical assessment and provide the same weight management support alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Your Private Prescription Journey
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-licensed prescriber reviews your application typically within hours, not weeks. Once approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched with tracked next-day delivery. The entire process from consultation to delivery typically takes 24-48 hours, compared to potentially weeks through NHS channels.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Private prescription access still requires proper clinical oversight. Our prescribers assess your suitability based on BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. Adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol may be eligible. The online consultation replaces the face-to-face GP appointment whilst maintaining the same clinical standards and safety protocols required for prescription-only medicines.
Maximising Your Treatment Success
Xenical works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, but success depends on combining treatment with lifestyle changes. Follow a reduced-calorie diet with no more than 30% calories from fat, spread evenly across three meals. Take a daily multivitamin at bedtime to replace fat-soluble vitamins. Monitor your progress and maintain regular contact with healthcare professionals for ongoing support and monitoring throughout your weight management journey.
