Private Orlistat Prescription - Who Qualifies?
Who Can Use Orlistat Through Private Prescription?
Adults aged 18+ with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above may be suitable for orlistat treatment through private prescription. Those with a BMI of 28-30 kg/m² may also qualify if they have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each case individually through a comprehensive online consultation, determining suitability based on your medical history and current health status.
Private vs NHS Route - Why Choose Private?
While orlistat is available on the NHS, private prescription offers significant advantages. Skip months of GP appointments and NHS waiting lists. Our online process takes just minutes to complete, with prescriber review typically within 24 hours. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for a 4-week supply (£29.69 with EDM10), often less than multiple GP visits and time off work. Xenical 120mg is available from £42.99 (£38.69 with code EDM10) for those preferring the branded version.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Complete our secure medical questionnaire covering your weight history, current medications, and health conditions. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines whether orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate. If approved, your prescription is issued immediately and sent to our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester for dispensing and next-day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from consultation to delivery.
Treatment Options Available
We offer three orlistat options to suit different needs and budgets. Generic orlistat 120mg provides identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at significantly lower cost - perfect for budget-conscious patients. Xenical 120mg offers the same active ingredient with branded reassurance. Alli 60mg provides a lower-strength option at half the prescription dose. All work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Who Should Not Use Orlistat?
Certain individuals cannot use orlistat safely. This includes anyone under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, or known allergies to orlistat. Patients taking ciclosporin, warfarin, or certain other medications may require special monitoring or alternative treatments. Our prescribers carefully review all contraindications during the clinical assessment to ensure treatment safety.
