Private Prescription Benefits vs NHS Route
Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
The private prescription route offers significant advantages over NHS prescribing for orlistat, Xenical and Alli. Rather than waiting weeks for a GP appointment and potential NHS eligibility assessments, our private service provides fast access to weight loss medication through a streamlined online process. Our UK-licensed prescribers can review your consultation and issue a prescription where clinically appropriate, often within 24 hours of submission.
Available Private Prescription Options
We offer three weight loss medication options through private prescription. Generic orlistat 120mg provides the most cost-effective option, with 4-week supplies from £29.69 (£32.99 before EDM10 discount). Xenical 120mg, the branded version containing identical active ingredient, is available from £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength alternative at £26.09 for 4 weeks with EDM10 discount applied.
Fast Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our private prescription process eliminates NHS waiting times whilst maintaining full clinical safety standards. Complete our comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications and weight management goals. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability based on current clinical guidelines. If approved, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and dispatched for next day delivery.
Cost Comparison: Private vs NHS Prescription Charges
Private prescriptions offer transparent, competitive pricing compared to multiple NHS prescription charges. An NHS prescription costs £9.65 per item, meaning 12 weeks of treatment requires 3 separate prescriptions totalling £28.95 in charges alone. Our private 12-week orlistat supply costs £86.39 with EDM10 discount - representing excellent value with prescription consultation included. No separate GP appointment fees or multiple prescription charges apply.
Clinical Standards and Safety
Our private prescription service maintains identical clinical standards to NHS prescribing. All prescribers are UK-licensed healthcare professionals following NICE guidelines for orlistat prescribing. Treatment is only prescribed where clinically appropriate following individual assessment. Our GPhC-registered pharmacy sources all medication through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains, ensuring identical quality standards to high street pharmacy dispensing.
Same Day Processing Available
Unlike NHS routes requiring advance GP appointments, our private service offers same-day consultation processing Monday to Friday. Submit your consultation before 2pm for same-day prescriber review. Approved prescriptions are dispensed and dispatched the same day where possible, with tracked next day delivery across the UK. Weekend consultations are processed first thing Monday morning for rapid turnaround.
