Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Private Prescription vs NHS Route for Fatty Liver Support
When considering orlistat for potential fatty liver support, private prescription offers significant advantages over the NHS route. Our online clinical assessment eliminates the need for GP appointments and lengthy waiting lists. UK-licensed prescribers review your health information within 24 hours, providing faster access to treatment where clinically appropriate.
Orlistat Options Available Through Private Prescription
We offer three orlistat options following successful clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective choice at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg contains the same active ingredient at £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £26.09 for 4 weeks. All work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
How Orlistat May Support Fatty Liver Management
Orlistat works locally in the digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes, reducing dietary fat absorption by approximately one third. This mechanism may contribute to weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Weight reduction can be beneficial for fatty liver management, though individual responses vary. Your prescriber will assess whether orlistat is appropriate for your specific health circumstances.
Private Prescription Process - Simple and Discreet
Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and decides if orlistat is clinically appropriate. If prescribed, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery.

Safety Considerations and Side Effects
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, particularly gastrointestinal effects linked to dietary fat intake. Common side effects include oily stools, increased bowel frequency, and abdominal discomfort. These can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat - approximately 15g fat per meal. Your prescriber will review your suitability and discuss potential side effects during the clinical assessment.
