Fast-Track Your Orlistat Prescription Privately
Understanding Orlistat's Gastrointestinal Effects
Orlistat causes diarrhea and other gastrointestinal side effects because of how it works in your digestive system. As a lipase inhibitor, orlistat blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat must pass through your body naturally, leading to oily stools, urgency, and loose bowel movements. These effects are more pronounced when eating high-fat meals, which is why maintaining a lower-fat diet is essential during treatment.
Private Prescription: Faster Access Without NHS Delays
While orlistat is available on the NHS, accessing it privately through EverydayMeds offers significant advantages. Our online clinical assessment removes the need for GP appointments and NHS waiting times. UK-licensed prescribers review your health questionnaire and can issue a prescription where clinically appropriate. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks, or just £29.69 with discount code EDM10 - often faster and more convenient than NHS routes.
Managing Side Effects Through Diet
The severity of orlistat's gastrointestinal effects directly relates to your fat intake. Keeping meals to approximately 15g fat each significantly reduces diarrhea, oily discharge, and urgency. Most patients find side effects decrease over time as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern. Start your private prescription today to begin managing your weight with professional support and faster access than NHS alternatives.
Orlistat vs Xenical: Private Prescription Options
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are available through our private prescription service. Generic orlistat offers identical clinical effects at £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while Xenical costs £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Both require the same online clinical assessment and offer the same mechanism of action - blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption.
