Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Skip NHS Delays with Private Orlistat Prescription
While orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and specialist weight management services. Our private prescription route provides faster access to the same clinically proven weight loss medication without the delays. A UK-licensed prescriber can assess your suitability for orlistat online, potentially prescribing treatment within 24 hours of your consultation.
Three Orlistat Options Available Privately
Following your online assessment, our prescribers can recommend the most suitable option for your needs. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value at £29.69 for 4 weeks (with EDM10), while branded Xenical 120mg costs £38.69 for the same supply. Both contain identical active ingredients and work by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. For those preferring a lower-strength option, Alli 60mg provides half the dose at £26.09 for 4 weeks.
How Private Orlistat Prescription Works
Our streamlined process eliminates NHS waiting times whilst maintaining the same regulatory standards. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK prescriber reviews your information within 24 hours, assessing whether orlistat treatment is clinically appropriate for your circumstances. If approved, your prescription is dispensed immediately by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next-day delivery.
Taking Orlistat After Meals - Timing Guidance
Whether you choose generic orlistat or Xenical, the dosing schedule remains consistent - one 120mg capsule three times daily with each main meal containing fat. Each capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you miss a meal or eat a fat-free meal, you can skip that dose. This flexible timing makes orlistat convenient to incorporate into your daily routine whilst maximising the medication's fat-blocking benefits.
Cost Comparison: Private vs NHS Route
While NHS orlistat involves prescription charges (where applicable), our private service includes the prescription fee, clinical assessment, and dispensing in one transparent price. Generic orlistat costs £57.59 for 8 weeks or £86.39 for 12 weeks with code EDM10. Branded Xenical is available at £78.29 for 8 weeks or £116.09 for 12 weeks. All prices include VAT, prescription, and delivery - no hidden charges.
Professional Clinical Assessment
Our private prescription service maintains the same clinical standards as NHS provision. UK-licensed prescribers assess your BMI, medical history, and suitability for orlistat treatment. The medication is typically prescribed for adults with BMI over 30, or BMI over 28 with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Your prescriber ensures orlistat is safe and appropriate before issuing any prescription.
