Private Orlistat Prescription - Faster Than NHS Route
How Many Calories Does Orlistat Block?
Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. This means roughly 30% of the fat calories you consume are prevented from entering your bloodstream and are naturally excreted instead. For example, if you eat a meal containing 15g of fat (135 calories from fat), orlistat may block around 45 calories worth of that fat. The medication works locally in your gut by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat.
Private vs NHS Orlistat Prescription
While orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it often involves lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management referrals. Our private prescription service offers the same MHRA-regulated medication with faster access. Following an online clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber, suitable patients can receive their prescription within hours rather than weeks. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10).
Complete Orlistat Product Range Available
Our GPhC-registered pharmacy stocks all orlistat formulations. Orlistat 120mg generic provides the most cost-effective option at £95.99 for 12 weeks (£86.39 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect in branded form at £128.99 for 12 weeks (£116.09 with EDM10). For those preferring lower-strength treatment, Alli 60mg costs £129.99 for 12 weeks (£116.99 with EDM10). All options work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
