Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Private vs NHS Route: Faster Access to Orlistat
The NHS route for orlistat involves GP appointments, potential waiting lists, and strict eligibility criteria. Our private prescription service offers immediate access through an online clinical assessment, with treatment approved within hours rather than weeks. UK-licensed prescribers review your health history, including contraceptive use, to ensure orlistat is safe and appropriate for you.
Orlistat and Contraception: Expert Clinical Assessment
Our prescribers specifically assess how orlistat may interact with your contraceptive method. While orlistat works locally in the gut and doesn't directly affect hormonal contraception, gastrointestinal side effects could potentially impact absorption of oral contraceptives. Our clinical team provides personalised guidance on timing, backup contraception if needed, and monitoring during treatment.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment
Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value: 4 weeks for £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), 8 weeks for £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10), or 12 weeks for £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10). Prefer branded Xenical? Available from £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both contain identical 120mg orlistat doses with the same clinical effect - the key difference is cost.
How Our Private Prescription Service Works
Complete our comprehensive online health questionnaire covering your weight management goals, medical history, and current contraception. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours, assessing suitability for orlistat treatment. Once approved, we dispense from our GPhC-registered Leicester pharmacy with next day tracked delivery. Your prescription is included in the price - no separate GP fees.
Professional Support Throughout Treatment
Our prescribers provide ongoing guidance on using orlistat safely alongside contraception. This includes advice on optimal timing, recognising side effects, and when to seek additional support. We're committed to safe, effective weight management with professional oversight throughout your treatment journey.
