Private Orlistat Prescription - Faster Than NHS Route
How to Take Orlistat With Food - Private Prescription Guidance
When you receive orlistat through our private prescription service, you take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat. This means breakfast, lunch and dinner - up to three capsules daily. Take each capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after your meal. If you skip a meal or it contains no fat, you can skip that dose. This timing ensures orlistat works effectively by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption from each meal.
Private vs NHS Orlistat - Why Choose EverydayMeds
While orlistat is available on the NHS, many patients choose our private prescription route to avoid lengthy waiting times and multiple GP appointments. Our online clinical assessment takes minutes, not weeks. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your application the same day, and if suitable, your prescription is dispensed immediately from our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. You receive the same medication - either generic orlistat 120mg from £29.69 monthly or branded Xenical from £38.69 monthly (with EDM10 discount) - but with significantly faster access.
Orlistat Pricing - Private Prescription Value
Our private orlistat prescriptions include competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (84 capsules), reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks, reduced to £38.69 with EDM10. Both contain identical active ingredients and work identically - the generic version offers excellent value while Xenical provides the branded option. We also stock Alli 60mg at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10) for those preferring lower-strength treatment.
Why Take Orlistat With Meals
Orlistat must be taken with food because it works by inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat in your digestive system. Without food containing fat, there's nothing for orlistat to work on. The medication blocks approximately one third of fat absorption from each meal, so timing with fat-containing meals is essential. Taking orlistat without food provides no benefit and wastes your medication.
Online Prescription Process - Simple Steps
Our private prescription process eliminates NHS delays. Complete our online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information within hours, not days. If orlistat is clinically appropriate for you, we dispense your prescription immediately from our Leicester pharmacy. Choose next day delivery for £4.99 or free delivery for orders over £40. All packaging is discreet and professional.
Clinical Assessment - Professional Standards
Every private prescription requires clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers. They evaluate your BMI, medical history, current medications, and weight-related health factors to determine if orlistat is suitable. This mirrors NHS assessment standards but happens much faster. Our prescribers may recommend generic orlistat for value, branded Xenical for preference, or suggest Alli 60mg as a starting option. The choice is yours following their clinical guidance.
