How Orlistat Reduces Calories - Private Route Available
How Does Orlistat Reduce Calories?
Orlistat works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, effectively reducing the calorie intake from fat in your meals. When combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet, this mechanism can support significant weight management as part of a structured programme.
Private Prescription - Faster Than NHS
Our private prescription service offers immediate access to orlistat without NHS waiting times. Complete our online clinical assessment and receive prescriber review within 24 hours. Choose from three options: generic orlistat 120mg from £15.20 (2 weeks with EDM10), branded Xenical from £19.35, or lower-strength Alli from £26.09. All clinically equivalent for blocking fat absorption.
Treatment Options and Pricing
Orlistat 120mg represents the most cost-effective option at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Xenical 120mg offers the same clinical effect as the branded version for £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength alternative at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10).

Clinical Assessment Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your BMI, medical history, and weight-related risk factors during the online consultation. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The assessment takes 5-10 minutes, with most applications reviewed within 24 hours. Start your assessment today to access treatment quickly.
Why Choose Private Over NHS
NHS orlistat prescriptions often involve lengthy waiting lists and multiple GP appointments. Our private route provides immediate access with the same clinical standards - we're GPhC-registered and MHRA-regulated. Receive your medication within 1-2 days of approval versus weeks through NHS. Perfect for those ready to start their weight management journey without delay.
