Private Orlistat Prescription - Faster Than NHS Route
Does Orlistat Need a Prescription in the UK?
Yes, orlistat 120mg requires a prescription in the UK. While you can get orlistat through the NHS, this often involves waiting lists and multiple GP appointments. Our private prescription service offers the same regulated treatment with faster access. Following an online clinical assessment, our UK-licensed prescribers can issue a private prescription for orlistat 120mg, branded Xenical, or lower-strength Alli where clinically appropriate.
Private vs NHS Orlistat - Key Differences
The NHS route typically requires a GP appointment, potential waiting times, and strict eligibility criteria. Private prescriptions through EverydayMeds offer immediate access without NHS delays. You complete a comprehensive online health questionnaire, and our prescribers review your suitability within hours, not weeks. The medication is identical - generic orlistat 120mg works exactly like NHS-prescribed orlistat, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
Orlistat Pricing - Private Prescription
Generic orlistat 120mg is our most cost-effective option: 4 weeks (84 capsules) costs £32.99, reduced to £29.69 with code EDM10. Branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks. All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees. Choose longer supplies for better value: 12 weeks of generic orlistat costs £95.99, or £86.39 with our 10% discount.
How the Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and assesses whether orlistat is suitable for your individual circumstances. If approved, your prescription is processed immediately and your medication dispatched the same day from our Leicester pharmacy. Next-day delivery ensures you start treatment quickly without NHS waiting times.
Who Can Get a Private Orlistat Prescription?
Adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above may be suitable for orlistat treatment. Those with a BMI of 28 kg/m² or above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure may also qualify. Our prescribers assess each case individually, considering your medical history and current medications. Private prescriptions follow the same clinical guidelines as NHS prescriptions, ensuring safe, appropriate treatment.
Orlistat, Xenical or Alli - Which Should You Choose?
Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers significant savings. Alli 60mg provides half the strength for those preferring a gentler starting dose. All three options block fat absorption in the digestive system and must be used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet for optimal results.
