Why Choose Private Orlistat Prescription?
Private vs NHS Orlistat Access
While orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service offers a faster, more convenient alternative. Following an online clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers, eligible patients can access orlistat 120mg capsules without GP appointments or NHS delays.
Private Orlistat Pricing - Transparent Costs
Our private orlistat pricing provides excellent value compared to high street pharmacies. Generic orlistat 120mg starts from just £15.20 for a 2-week supply (42 capsules) with code EDM10. For a 12-week supply (252 capsules), the cost is £86.39 with our discount - representing significant savings over individual monthly purchases. Branded Xenical 120mg is also available from £19.35 per fortnight.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your consultation, typically within 24 hours. If orlistat is clinically appropriate for you, we'll issue a private prescription and dispatch your medication for next-day delivery. All prescriptions are dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester using MHRA-regulated supply chains.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Clinical Effect
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose. They work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption through lipase enzyme inhibition. The key difference is cost - generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as Xenical but costs around £9 less per month. Some patients prefer branded Xenical whilst others choose generic orlistat for better value.
Fast Access Without NHS Restrictions
NHS orlistat prescriptions often require multiple GP appointments, specialist referrals, and meeting strict BMI thresholds with co-morbidities. Our private service offers faster access for suitable candidates with BMI ≥30 or BMI ≥28 with weight-related health conditions. Following successful clinical assessment, your orlistat prescription is included in the price with no separate consultation fees.
Professional Support Throughout Treatment
Unlike over-the-counter options, our private prescription service includes ongoing clinical oversight. Our prescribers can advise on optimising orlistat effectiveness, managing any side effects, and supporting your weight management journey. All medications are supplied with comprehensive patient information leaflets and access to professional guidance when needed.
