Private Orlistat Prescription: Faster Access Without NHS Delays
Why Choose Private Prescription for Orlistat?
Whilst orlistat is available through the NHS, many patients face significant waiting times for GP appointments and specialist weight management services. Our private prescription route provides faster access to the same medication, following the same clinical standards. You can complete your assessment online and receive your prescription within 24 hours, subject to prescriber approval.
How to Use Xenical Orlistat 120mg Correctly
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. Each capsule should be taken immediately before, during, or up to one hour after eating. If you skip a meal or eat something with no fat, you can omit that dose. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, so keeping meals low in fat (around 15g per meal) helps minimise side effects.
Private Prescription Options and Pricing
We offer both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg. Generic orlistat provides identical clinical effects at lower cost - from £29.69 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10. Branded Xenical costs £38.69 for the same duration. Both options require the same clinical assessment and provide the same weight management support when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Online Clinical Assessment Process
Our streamlined process replaces traditional GP appointments. Complete our detailed health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your application and determines suitability based on clinical guidelines. If approved, your prescription is dispensed immediately by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester.
Who May Be Suitable for Private Orlistat Prescription
Adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, may be suitable. Our prescribers assess each application individually, ensuring treatment is clinically appropriate. The same eligibility criteria apply whether accessing orlistat privately or through the NHS - the key difference is speed and convenience.
Managing Treatment and Side Effects
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and directly related to dietary fat intake. Keeping meals low in fat significantly reduces these effects. We recommend taking a multivitamin supplement at bedtime, as orlistat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Your treatment includes ongoing support and the option to adjust dosing or pack sizes as needed.
Delivery and Ongoing Supply
All orders are dispatched with next day delivery in discreet packaging. We offer flexible pack sizes from 2-week starter supplies (42 capsules) to 12-week courses (252 capsules). Returning customers can reorder easily through their account, with the same 10% discount applying to every order. Start your private orlistat consultation today.
