Why Choose Private Prescription Orlistat?
Proven Effectiveness of Orlistat
Orlistat is clinically proven to support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your gut, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, helping reduce calorie intake from dietary fat. Individual responses vary, but orlistat may contribute to weight reduction as part of a structured weight management programme including dietary changes and increased physical activity.
Private Prescription Advantages
Our private prescription service eliminates NHS waiting times and GP appointment delays. Complete your confidential online clinical assessment at any time, reviewed by qualified UK-licensed prescribers. If clinically appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. This regulated process provides the same clinical standards as traditional pharmacy services, but with greater convenience and faster access to treatment.
Orlistat Options and Pricing
We offer both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg - both contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. Generic orlistat provides excellent value: 4 weeks costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), whilst 12 weeks costs £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10). Xenical branded version costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require prescription following clinical assessment. Alli 60mg is also available as a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10).
Clinical Assessment Process
Your suitability for orlistat is assessed through our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether treatment is clinically appropriate. This may include adults with BMI 30 kg/m² or above, or BMI 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The entire process typically completes within hours, not weeks.
Safe and Effective Treatment
Orlistat 120mg is taken as one capsule three times daily with main meals containing fat. The medication works best when daily fat intake is spread evenly across meals (approximately 15g fat per meal). Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, typically gastrointestinal effects that reduce when following a lower-fat diet. Our service includes comprehensive guidance on diet, dosing, and managing any side effects that may occur.
Next Day Delivery Service
Once your prescription is approved and dispensed, medication is dispatched with next day delivery across the UK. All packaging is discreet and secure, delivered directly to your specified address. Your prescription is included in the price - no separate consultation fees or hidden charges. Orders placed before our daily cut-off time are typically delivered the following working day, ensuring rapid access to your prescribed treatment.
