Fast Private Prescription Route vs NHS Waiting Times
Orlistat Classification: Not a Controlled Substance
Orlistat isn't classified as a controlled substance in the UK, but the 120mg prescription strength is regulated as a prescription-only medicine (POM). This means you need a valid prescription from a UK-licensed prescriber to obtain orlistat 120mg or branded Xenical 120mg legally.
Private Prescription Benefits
EverydayMeds offers a faster alternative to NHS routes. Complete an online clinical assessment reviewed by qualified UK prescribers without booking a GP appointment. Our private prescription service bypasses NHS waiting lists, providing quicker access to prescription weight loss medication.

How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and issues a prescription if clinically appropriate. Your medication is then dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with next day delivery.
Clinical Assessment Without GP Visit
Our online consultation replaces the need for a face-to-face GP appointment. UK-qualified prescribers assess your suitability for orlistat based on BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. This regulated process maintains the same clinical standards as traditional prescribing.
Prescription Included in Price
Unlike some services charging separate consultation fees, EverydayMeds includes the prescription cost in our medication pricing. Save 10% on every order with code EDM10, available for both new and returning customers across all orlistat products.
