Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Fast Access Without NHS Delays
While orlistat is available on the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting lists and limited GP appointments. Our private prescription service offers immediate access to the same clinically effective treatments. Following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, orlistat may be prescribed where clinically appropriate. This regulated route provides the convenience of online consulting whilst maintaining the same safety standards as traditional prescribing.
Is Orlistat a Fat Burner? Understanding How It Works
Orlistat is not a traditional "fat burner" or stimulant. Instead, it works by blocking approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed in your gut. This lipase inhibitor acts locally in the digestive system, allowing unabsorbed fat to pass naturally through your body. Unlike stimulant-based treatments, orlistat doesn't affect your heart rate or nervous system, making it suitable for many adults seeking weight management support alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Private Prescription Options and Pricing
We stock three orlistat options to suit different budgets and preferences. Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective choice at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg contains identical active ingredients at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). For those preferring lower strength, Alli 60mg is available at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10). All prices include the private prescription - no separate consultation fees.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our online clinical assessment replaces the need for face-to-face GP appointments. You'll complete a comprehensive medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and weight management goals. UK-licensed prescribers review each application individually, ensuring orlistat is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. Suitable candidates typically have a BMI of 30+ or 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
What to Expect with Private Treatment
Orlistat works best when combined with a structured approach to weight management. Your prescriber may recommend keeping fat intake to approximately 15g per meal to minimise side effects. Most patients experience gastrointestinal effects initially, which typically reduce as dietary habits adapt. A daily multivitamin is recommended, taken at bedtime away from orlistat doses. Regular monitoring helps track progress and adjust treatment as needed.
