Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
What is Orlistat and How Does It Work?
Orlistat is a prescription-only weight loss medication that works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Available as generic orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical 120mg, or lower-strength Alli 60mg, it inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Private vs NHS Prescription Route
While orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately through EverydayMeds offers significant advantages. Skip lengthy NHS waiting lists and GP appointment delays. Our online clinical assessment replaces face-to-face consultations, with UK-licensed prescribers reviewing your health information the same day. No more waiting weeks for appointments or being restricted by local prescribing guidelines - get faster access to treatment when you need it most.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective option, starting at £29.69 for 84 capsules (4-week supply) with code EDM10. Xenical 120mg contains the identical active ingredient but costs £38.69 for the same supply - some patients prefer the branded version. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £26.09 for 42 capsules (4-week supply). All options work by the same mechanism, blocking dietary fat absorption when taken with meals containing fat.
Our Simple Private Prescription Process
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information, typically within hours during working days. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Choose next-day delivery for £4.99 or free delivery for orders over £40. All packaging is discreet with no external pharmacy markings.
Treatment Pricing and Savings
Save money with longer treatment courses and our EDM10 discount code. Orlistat 120mg 12-week supply (252 capsules) costs £86.39 with EDM10, compared to £116.09 for branded Xenical 12-week supply. Calculate your savings: generic orlistat offers approximately £30 savings over 12 weeks compared to Xenical, while providing identical clinical effects. All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees or hidden costs.
Clinical Assessment and Suitability
Orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess each application individually, considering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Treatment requires commitment to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet - orlistat works best when dietary fat per meal stays around 15g to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
