Why Choose Private Prescription for Weight Loss Medication?
Private vs NHS Route: Faster Access to Orlistat
While orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face lengthy waiting times for GP appointments and weight management referrals. Our private prescription service offers a faster alternative - complete an online clinical assessment and receive prescriber review without joining NHS waiting lists. Following approval by our UK-licensed prescribers, your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address.
Orlistat Options Through Private Prescription
We offer three orlistat options following clinical assessment: Generic orlistat 120mg (prescription-only) from £16.89 per 2-week supply, Xenical 120mg (branded orlistat) from £21.50, and Alli 60mg from £28.99. All contain the same active ingredient that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. Save 10% on every order with code EDM10.
How Our Private Prescription Process Works
Complete our online 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 clinical guidelines. If approved, your prescription is processed by our Leicester-based GPhC-registered pharmacy. We offer next-day tracked delivery across the UK with discreet packaging. The prescription fee is included in our pricing - no separate consultation charges.
Clinical Assessment for Orlistat or Semaglutide
Our prescribers assess eligibility based on BMI, medical history, and weight-related health factors. Orlistat may be suitable for adults with BMI 30+ or BMI 28+ with conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Semaglutide follows different clinical criteria. Both treatments require ongoing monitoring and lifestyle changes. Your prescriber will determine which option, if any, is clinically appropriate for your circumstances.
Pricing and Value of Private Treatment
Private prescription eliminates NHS waiting times while maintaining the same clinical standards. Orlistat 120mg 84-capsule pack costs £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) - representing excellent value for 4-week treatment. Xenical 120mg equivalent pack costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10). Both products are clinically identical, with generic orlistat offering cost savings. All medication is sourced through licensed UK pharmaceutical supply chains.
