Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS Route?
Private vs NHS Orlistat - Skip the Wait
Whilst orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately offers significant advantages. NHS patients often face lengthy waiting lists for weight management consultations and strict eligibility criteria. With EverydayMeds' private prescription service, you can access the same prescription-strength orlistat without the delays. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your online consultation within 24 hours, potentially saving weeks or months compared to the NHS route.
Three Orlistat Options Available Privately
We stock all three strengths to suit your needs and budget. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option at £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 discount. Branded Xenical 120mg contains identical active ingredients for £38.69 per 4-week supply. Both prescription strengths block approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £49.49 for 8 weeks. All require clinical assessment by our prescribers before dispensing.
How Private Prescription Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat is clinically appropriate for you. If approved, your prescription is issued electronically and your medication dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Orders placed before 4pm Monday-Friday qualify for next day delivery across the UK.
Clinical Assessment Without GP Visit
Our prescribers assess the same clinical criteria as NHS doctors but without appointment delays. You'll need a BMI of 28+ with weight-related health conditions or 30+ to be considered suitable. The online consultation covers contraindications including pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic malabsorption, and current medications. This replaces the traditional GP appointment whilst maintaining the same safety standards through regulated private healthcare.
Pricing and Value Comparison
Private prescription eliminates NHS prescription charges whilst providing faster access. A 12-week supply of generic orlistat costs £86.39 with EDM10 discount - comparable to multiple NHS prescription fees. Xenical 12-week supply costs £116.09 with discount. Both include the prescription fee, clinical assessment, and next day delivery. No hidden costs or separate consultation charges apply to your order.
Regulated Service You Can Trust
EverydayMeds operates under full GPhC registration with MHRA-regulated supply chains. Our prescribers hold valid UK medical licences and follow identical clinical guidelines to NHS practitioners. All orlistat supplied comes from licensed UK pharmaceutical distributors, ensuring the same quality and safety standards as high street pharmacies. Your private prescription is legally equivalent to any NHS or GP-issued prescription.
