Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss?
How Xenical Works in Your Body
Xenical contains orlistat 120mg, which works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat for absorption. When blocked by orlistat, approximately one third of the fat you eat passes through your body unabsorbed. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Private vs NHS Prescription Routes
While orlistat is available on the NHS, eligibility criteria and waiting times can delay access to treatment. Our private prescription service bypasses these delays, offering clinical assessment within 24 hours. Following review by a UK-licensed prescriber, suitable patients receive their prescription without GP appointments or lengthy NHS processes. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10).
Three Treatment Options Available
We offer three clinically-proven options: generic orlistat 120mg (most cost-effective), branded Xenical 120mg (same active ingredient), and Alli 60mg (lower-strength option). All contain the same active ingredient at different doses. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg are prescription-only medicines requiring clinical assessment, while offering identical clinical effects. Choose generic orlistat for maximum savings or branded Xenical if you prefer the original formulation.
Clinical Assessment Process
Our online consultation covers your medical history, current medications, BMI calculation, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information to determine suitability. Treatment may be appropriate for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The entire process typically takes under 24 hours from submission to prescription approval.

Managing Side Effects
Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when eating high-fat meals. These effects are actually signs the medication is working - unabsorbed fat must pass through your system. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to minimise side effects. Most patients find effects reduce over time as they adapt their diet. Our prescribers provide detailed guidance on managing your treatment effectively.
