Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS Route?
Private vs NHS Orlistat Prescription
Whilst your GP can prescribe orlistat on the NHS, many patients face significant delays due to waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. EverydayMeds offers a faster private prescription route that maintains the same clinical standards through our UK-licensed prescribers. Following an online clinical assessment, suitable patients can access orlistat 120mg capsules without the typical NHS delays.
How Private Prescription Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispatched from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next-day delivery. The entire process typically completes within 24 hours compared to weeks through NHS routes.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We stock both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients. Generic orlistat offers excellent value starting from £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with EDM10 discount, whilst branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same supply. For those preferring lower-strength options, Alli 60mg provides half the dose at £26.09 for 4 weeks with discount code EDM10.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Private prescription doesn't mean reduced clinical oversight. Our prescribers assess the same criteria as NHS GPs: BMI requirements (typically 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions), medical history, and current medications. This ensures orlistat is prescribed safely and appropriately. The key difference is speed and convenience - no waiting rooms or appointment scheduling required.
Why Patients Choose Private Route
Many patients find NHS orlistat prescriptions involve lengthy consultations, follow-up appointments, and restrictive monitoring requirements. Our private service maintains clinical safety whilst offering greater flexibility. You receive the same prescription-strength medication but with faster access and discreet home delivery. All medication is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains and regulated by MHRA standards.
